Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for the fact that having a telephone isn’t as expensive as one would think. The ad has a picture of a lady smiling as she talks on the phone under the words “Bigger Bargain” and above the statement that “The telephone takes a smaller part of the family budget than in 1939…”. The text explains that the average family income has increased more that the telephone rates have and that the value of the telephone has increased dramatically since “you can now call more than twice as many telephones in your local area than in 1939”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
