Description
Black and white 10″ x 13 3/4″ ad for the 1948 Philco 1256 Automatic Table Radio – Phonograph. The ad has a picture of, I think it is Burl Ives, singing a song next to the model of the radio mentioned. It says that he is “A Great Performer on radio and records!”. Describing the unit, the text says that “It’s new for 1948…the great Philco 1256…the utmost in tone, performance and quality in an automatic table radio – phonograph. It brings you Burl Ives, America’s mightiest ballad singer, and all the other great performers at their glorious best on radio or records. See it now at your Philco dealer”.
