Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their Presentation Set. The ad has a picture where a young man with a hopeful look on his face and two tickets in his hand is talking to an attentive young lady and pointing at the sign on the wall announcing the Senior Prom. The headline announces the “$64 Question Coming Up!” and the text leads me to believe that this young man may have even gone so far as to present the young lady with a Presentation Set as well as an invitation. Sounds like an early version of the movie Pretty Woman. The ad gives a price for the Presentation Set of $14.75 or $9.75 for the Pen alone and $5 for the Repeater Pencil. Mention is also made to tune into two shows they were sponsoring which were Take It Or Leave It with Phil Baker on CBS Sunday Nights and Maisie with Ann Southern in CBS Friday Nights.
