| American Radiator Company |
Full color 7 1/4" x 11 1/4" ad for their Heating Plants for Radiator Heat. The ad has a picture of a room that may be a basement with a workbench and nicely wooden walls with a water tank and a red boiler prominent in the room. The ad headline asks "American Radiator heat for approximately $75 per room - why have anything else?". The ad text uses some of the normal arguments for radiator heat but also mentions that this equipment is 100% "All-American" and that they will take you on a payment plan. |

| Bryant |
Full color 9 1/2" x 12 1/2" ad for their Gas Water Heaters. There is a picture of a little girl kneeling by the base of their new Bryant scrubbing some of her dolls clothes while the doll stays warm by the water heater and the dog stands with a look on his face that says "I'm not next am I?". The text talks about problems such as a washing machine with an unquenchable thirst, the end of a shower becoming uncomfortable or the inability to really clean greasy dishes will be taken care of by the purchase and installation of a Bryant. Along the bottom of the ad are shown other fine products made by Bryant. |

| Day & Night |
Black and white9 1/2" x 13" ad for their Jetglas Water Heaters. The ad has a picture that shows a lady from the knees down standing on a floor that is several inches deep in water as she makes a desperation phone call. The ad headline, talking about the leaking water, claims that "It can't happen with a Day & Night Jetglas Water Heater" and the text of her phone call has her claiming that "It's that 'bargain' water heater. Leaking already! Everything's just soaked! It'll ruin the linoleum. I'm just sick about it. All to save $10. Some bargain". This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view. |

| Rheem |
Black and white 10" x 14" ad for their Automatic Water Heater. There is a picture of a father and his young son relaxing in their basement game room which is comfortably filled with a ping-pong table, chairs and...a Rheem Water Heater. The headline, directed toward the woman of the house, starts "How to sell the man in your house More Hot Water" and the text gives her the facts that she can use to convince him to buy a Rheem. The text tells you "How to Stay in Hot Water", that you can "Set the Dial and Settle Back", it will be safe to "Go By the Guarantees" and if you buy one and have it installed you will have a "Dream House" just like the 100 around the country. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view. |
