Full color 9 1/2" x 13" ad that answers the question "How much should you pay for a good toilet?". The ad has pictures and information on three different kinds which all happen to be their brand. The first model shown, the lowest priced one, is a Cadet which is listed at $53.90. The second one, just a little bit better but only because it is the oval bowl rather that the popular round one, is the Elongated Cadet which was listed at $65.35. Ah the best one. The best one is the Glenwall which they call the "first economy-priced off the floor toilet" and could be yours for only $88.30. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view. |

| Anaconda |
Black and white 7 1/2" x 11" ad for their Brass Water Pipes. The ad has a large picture of a disappointed lady sitting on the edge of her tub watching dirty water trickle in. The caption of this picture says "Rust in the water pipe! - You can't get water except in a trickle...To assure a full flow, use Anaconda Brass Pipe...It cannot rust". The second picture shows a plumber who has torn a section of wall out to work on the existing pipes. This caption says "A close-up picture of what actually happens when rustable pipe is used in the plumbing system. Notice the rist on the outside. Inside the pipe is so badly clogged with rust that replacement is necessary. Anaconda Brass Pipe eliminates this expense because it cannot rust". The third picture shows a happy lady folding clothes with a caption that explains "Your laundress knows how damaging rust spots are to clothes. Rusted water pipes make it almost impossible to avoid rust spots. Many housewives protect their laundry, and their children's drinking water by insisting that Anaconda Brass Pipes be installed in their homes". |
