Description
Black and white 6 1/2″ x 9 3/4″ ad for their Cabinet Radios. The main picture shows a living room with a father, mother and teenage daughter sitting around their new Mandarin FM-AM Radio Phonograph and the headline explained “How Mother persuaded Dad to do what he wanted!”. The text explains how Mother guided Dad to a Stromberg-Carlson display so that he could “Look”, then “Listen” because the real way to convince is to allow someone to “See the difference – hear the difference”. This unit sold for $475.00 and the text gives ranges for consoles, table models and televisions. At the bottom of the ad are photos and descriptions of the Happlewhite for $395, the Westchester for $1195, the Mayflower for $325 and the Dynamic for $34.95 in brown or $37.50 in ivory.
