Description
Full color 6 1/2″ x 9 3/4″ ad for the General Electric FM Radios with a songstress who made the expense of FM worthwhile, Dorothy Lamour. The ad has a small black and white photo of her singing and equates this picture to conventional radio. There is another, brighter and in full color picture of the same pose and this picture is deemed to be how FM Radio would allow her to sound. The text talks about the improved sound you get from FM as well as having “static, fading and station interference reduced to the vanishing point”. It also mentions a few of their radio programs that ran at this time and offered a booklet called Your Coming Radio that claimed to “preview the revolutionary, new General Electric Radio and Television sets”.
