Description
Full color 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad to help you with your Christmas shopping. At the top of the page is a picture of the RCA Victrola Model V-215 next to the Christmas tree while the proud father bursts a few buttons on his vest while his wife tries to hug him, their son pulls doors open and the daughter starts calling her friends on the phone. In the effort to describe this model is the sentence “Now his favorite records will last indefinitely” which makes me wonder why the models that I had 20 to 30 years later weren’t able to achieve that. The ad has separate pictures of each of the family members, even Fido the dog, and gets specific about what features are most important to them. There are also smaller pictures of Model 26BP Portable Radio that looks about the size of a suitcase, Model 15X Table Radio complete with six tubes and Model V-135 Victrola Record Player with an AM Radio. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
