Description
Black and white 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad that announces that “Admiral Announces the World’s First Portable TV with Wireless Remote Control”. These words are plastered at the top of the picture that shows a woman peacefully watching television in a darkened room as she sits about four feet from her set. Below this picture is a drawing of a woman’s hand holding the unit which looks pretty simple. The text tells us that “Admiral SON-R wireless remote control, world’s smallest and finest, tunes this new space age portable…the most versatile TV ever created. Take it to any room. Tune from anywhere in the room…from the comfort of your bed or easy chair. Wireless SON-R turns your new Admiral portable TV on-off, changes channels, adjusts volume to 4 levels! SON-R from $199.95″. Wow, the things they have invented.
