Description
Full color 10″ x 14″ ad for their Radio-Phonographs. The ad has a large picture of a Magnavox Traditional unit ($235) sitting in a living room. The lady of the house, clad in an apron, stands with her head cocked listening to the wonderful sounds coming from the unit while her husband and young son stand on the other side of the door waiting for her approval so they can come in and listen too. The ad headline calls this moment “Our fondest memory…the day our Magnavox came!”. The ad also shows a picture of The Mayfair which was $198.50 or $263.50 with FM, The Provincial which sold for $300 or $365 with FM and The Belvedere which was $450 or $515 with FM. The right side of the ad is a column of information called Frankly speaking about radio-phonograph. There are a few spots on this ad where the color from another page has bled through. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
