Thanks

Wizard was a line from Western Auto made by a few different appliance companies through their years in business.They are now defunct but,I don't know how long ago it was they went out of business.Their laundry line was made by Norge in the later years and Franklin in the earlier years.I am not sure who made their ranges and refrigerators. may have been Gibson and Tappan?
 
Holy picture tube, Batman!

We had that exact GE television when I was a kid!  Whenever I remember watching Rocky and Bullwinkle, Axel in his treehouse, or Lunch With Casey I always see that turqoise "frame" around the picture!

 
 
I have my parents radio in Red like th One in the picture model 496P4.  Still works.

 

 
 
I have the Westinghouse iron!

It was my mother's. Still works well, too.

Here is an 1968 ad for my downstairs Zenith console stereo.

@ laundromat & @ Ultramatic

Thank you "laundromat" for the answer.

And thank you "Ultramatic" for all these great Ads.
Ultramatic do you have also some old Ads of laundry detergents?

Cool Louie, I appreciate all of the cool ads you are posting.  

Two things, first we have an issue with the ones you got from the jonwilliamson.com site. I looked at that site and their terms of use forbid reposting these ads on another site without posting a link back to the original page:

Permission is granted to link to web pages on this site, but linking directly to files (including but not limited to jpg/png/gif graphics, mp3's, executables and zip archives) is strictly prohibited. Any other use, including but not limited to the reproduction, distribution, display or transmission of the content of this site is strictly prohibited, unless authorized by JonWilliamson.com. This license shall automatically terminate if you violate any of these restrictions and may be terminated by JonWilliamson.com at any time. Reblogging or reposting content from this site is acceptable only if a link back to the original post on JonWilliamson.com is included.

 

The only other ads that cannot be posted are those that I created and are in our current rotation of the Picture of the Day.

 

I will make an attempt to remove the images that could be an issue, which is going to take me of time, so please do be wary that if an ad is watermarked to be sure you have permission from the original creator to post it.  Copyright issues on the internet is something we have to take seriously.

<span style="font-size: medium;">Cool Robert, thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye out for copy righted material. I'll start removing anything with a water mark. I seem to remember what you post in Picture of the Day, I always look first thing in the morning, thus I'd never knowingly post something that was there originally. </span>

 

<span style="font-size: medium;">P.D. I've corrected the one's in question in Part Two, but unfortunately I can no longer edit the ones in the first thread, sorry.  </span>

No problem what so ever Louie!  Thanks for the updates.

 

There have been lots of problems recently on many websites especially with the Righthaven and Getty Images law suits  (if anyone is interested google those two companies) that have shut down some mom and pop web sites, so I'm just being extra cautious.

 

Thanks for understanding, your posts have been absolutely fabulous.
 
Getty Images

Along with "stock photo" shops the world over are getting very testy about persons uploading and or otherwise using their content without consent. It explains why so many now watermark images to the point you can barely see them clearly anymore.

Ebay sellers and website designers on the cheap probably were are some of the biggest culprits of lifting prints/content for their own use.

OTHO can see their point; afterall these places make their daily bread by selling use of content/photographs not to mention any agreements they have with the original owner or photographer than entitles them to a piece of the action as well.

The Internet has changed in these ten years or so and what was once deemed "ok" even if marginally often no longer flies today. Technology and programming have also advanced in that content and photos can be prevented from copying/pasting as well.
