Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ ad for ideas to help you with your Christmas shopping. The ad has a picture of Santa Claus standing next to a smiling young boy. He is talking to him about Christmas gifts and the ad headline has him finishing up by saying “and best of all, a Philco“. Shown in a clockwise manner surrounding them are Model 920 Table Radio for $37.95, Model 621 Portable Radio for $39.95, Model 1422 Table Combination Radio & Phonograph for $99.95, Model 1721 Floor Console Radio-Phonograph for $229.95, Model 520 Table Radio that was called their lowest price radio at $17.95, Model 527-1 Automatic Clock Radio at $39.95 and the Model 923 AM-FM Radio for $69.95. These are called “the finest, most powerful radios Philco has ever made in 19 years of unchallenged leadership”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
