Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for the variety of products available and how they can help bridge the generation gap. This ad has a picture drawn by Albert Dorne with an ornate console from Westinghouse being the focal point of the ad. Sitting around this item, listening to one of the Short Wave Bands, are a young boy with a world map in his lap with locations marked and an old man dressed as a sea captain who is sitting in a rocking chair with a pipe in his hand. These two people, with their sleeping dog, are bonding as they listen to broadcasts from around the world as the headline assures us that “You can be sure…if it’s Westinghouse“. The set is not identified in the ad but there is a generic description of it’s features. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
