Description
Full color 9 3/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad that tells us that Kodak Kodacolor Film is what we all should be using to take pictures. The headline of this ad says that “Ernie Ford says: ‘Even if you’re all thumbs (like me)…Kodacolor snapshots like these come easy!”. There is a picture of Ernie squatting down with his camera preparing to take another picture. It shows four different pictures taken by him, the first one is of his boy Brion, next there is Buck and Brion checking the camera out, then there is his wife Betty working on her hobby of painting and, lastly, there is Jeffrey saluting as he stands there in his Cub Scout uniform. The text in this ad says “Take a tip from Ol’ Ern. Get really lifelike pictures of your summer fun with wonderful Kodacolor Film. ‘As a photographer,’ says Tennessee Ernie Ford, star of ‘The Ford Show’ on NBC-TV, ‘I’m a fair country plumber. But look at the snapshots I get with Kodacolor Film. The colors come out right as rain and pretty as a rainbow. For pea-pickin’ pictures, it’s Kodacolor!’ (Try it in your camera. It can be processed locally in many cities, or by Kodak. Ask your dealer)”.
