Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for two of their Portable Radios and “How to have more fun in the sun…”. The ad says that Step 1: “RUN (don’t walk) to your nearest radio retailer” and decide which one of these two Westinghouse Portables will suit your needs better. Step 2 is to “GO to your favorite beach”, being sure to take your new Westinghouse Portable which, the ad assures you, will resist both water and abrasion with it’s simulated leather exterior. Step 3 is to “TUNE IN your favorite station” which should be easy since these sets have “TWICE the sensitivity of comparable pre-war portable sets”. Step 4 is “RELAX…that’s all”. Shown in the ad, with a minimum of information, are Model One Sixty-Five and Model One Forty-Eight and the ad urges you to tune into the Ted Malone Show, Monday through Friday 11:45 E.D.T.
