Are You Please With Your (TV) Picture?

[blackstone]

Just cleaned and framed this bit of advertising that I saved from the family store. It is advertising replacement picture tubes for TVs.

Closeup.

And I had to get myself in the picture. This mirror is in near-perfect condition, after having been hanging on the wall for probably 50 years. Fortunately, the front surface is glass, and all the printing and glazing is behind the glass.

What a great piece!

 

Who's that pretty girl (?) on the left?

I was thinking Kitty appears to be quite pleased

with the picture!!!

He is our 12-year-old cat that we adopted from the local shelter 2 years ago. He's sitting on the couch, waiting for a lap on which to sit.

Love it!

Gosh I love that great old TV shop ad material. I have some myself but nothing that nifty for sure.

Soooo. GE picture tubes are 100% brighter?

Than what? Your zero emission tube with an open heater???

Classic "unfinished claim".

That piece really brings one back to another time when:

Great art showed up in everything including TV shops.
People primped themselves in the mirror while dropping off their TV for repair,
When unfinished claims were all the rage in advertising.

Another unfinished claim

Just came to mind...

" You get MORE with MAGNAVOX ! "
