Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for their Portables. The headline, over a picture of a happy lady watching a variety show on her portable, calls them “America’s most wanted portable…and no wonder”. The caption says the set she is watching is their Model 3055 which comes with a remote control and calls these sets the “Slimmest, lightest, most compact – priced from $159.95”. There is another picture that shows the remote that was mentioned and says that with this it “changes channels with merely a squeeze” and another picture shows the Philco Safari which they called the “World’s First Transistor Portable TV!”.
