Description
Full color 10″ x 14″ ad drawn by Albert Dorne for the universal appeal of a Westinghouse. The ad has a small picture of a father, son and daughter having a race across the page. The larger picture shows what they were racing to. They are lined up in front of the Model 191 Radio-Phonograph and the daughter, who won the race, is sitting with a dreamy look on her face as she listens to the Jazz, Boogie and Samba records that are spread out in front of her. Her brother is sitting morosely staring at the Bach record that he prefers to listen to. The father, last in the race, is leaning against the doorframe with his paper in hand and pipe in his mouth wondering why he wasn’t allowed a head start since he paid for the darned thing. The ad headline has the familiar words “You can be sure..if it’s Westinghouse“. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
