Description
Three color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for the motel chain that is ready to help you. There is a picture of a lady being helped from a car parked in front of a Howard Johnson by a State Trooper and another man. The headline begins the story by saying “A family far from home, hurt and shaken; their car demolished and The Spotlight’s on You“ and the text continues with the story. It talks about a family who was taking their daughter to college when they were thrown out of control by a patch of ice. The one severely injured person was taken to the hospital and the police drove the rest to the nearby Howard Johnson. The owners, Mr and Mrs. Theodore Ravenel, welcomed them, drove them around and offered help for weeks to come. The ad has a picture of this wonderful couple at their Warenton, Virginia motel as it gives them that month’s “Spotlight Award”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
