Description

Motorola Ad 1959Full color 10″ x 14″ ad for their All-Transistor Shirt-Pocket Radio. The ad has a picture of a man putting one of these radios into his shirt pocket while holding a ticket stub (opera or sports event?) in the same hand. The ad says that it has a “powerful built-in speaker” and that it “Slips into your pocket…plays with the sound of a set twice its size”. The information is also given for a price of $29.95 for the Model X11 and mentions that it has a Built-In Easel Stand, a Power-Packed Chassis and a Built-In Antenna. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
