General Electric Ad 1947 AprilFull color 9 3/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad for General Electric Lamps – Stay Brighter Longer. This ad has a picture of actor Kenny Delmar playing the role of Senator Claghorn as he stands there with a bulb in his hand over a lamp and he is talking to the audience. This ad headline says that “‘Bulbsnatching’ says Sen. Claghorn ‘is just a YANK-EE trick'”. The complete text then says “Hold on there, Senator. We’re from the South and the North, and we say… Claghorn. That’s double talk…Ah say, that’s fence straddlin’! No! General Electric has lamp factories in every part of the country – South, North, East, West. And we say bulbsnatching’s wrong wherever you do it”. The ad continues on with their conversation.
