Description
Black and white 9 3/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad for the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. This ad has a picture of a man working away at his desk while talking on the telephone and the text says “Mr. William Zeckendorf: His Ideas Cost $100,000,000 Up”. The smaller print text says that “To say Mr. Zeckendorf is in real estate is like calling Fort Knox a piggy bank. President of Webb & Knapp, his ideas are changing the face of America with a $350 million Communications City for Manhattan, an industrial city to join Dallas and Ft. Worth, a $300 million redevelopment for Washington, D.C. His world’s largest shopping center on New York’s once-abandoned Roosevelt Field is complete, will soon serve 13 million customers a year. Business, plus an occasional quail shoot or fishing trip, keeps Mr. Zeckendorf on the go. His favorite way to go: Lockheed Luxury Liner. Today’s Super Constellation is the fastest, most luxurious Constellation ever built. With its relaxing chairs, generous leg room, new freedom from noise and vibration, handsome décor and convival lounge, this big silver ship makes the longest trip presently brief”.
