| Full color 9 1/2" x 12" ad drawn by Albert Dorne for the variety that a Wurlitzer will bring to your next gathering. The ad shows a busy restaurant where a birthday party is being celebrated. The chef is bringing a cake, decorated with the words Happy Birthday to Ja.., to the table where the friends of the birthday girl laugh at her surprise while the other patrons seem to be paying more attention to the music that is being chosen on the Wurlitzer. The ad headline claims that, because of the juke box, "24 Top Bands played at her party" and there was "Musical Fun for Everyone".

| Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad drawn by Albert Dorne for Westinghouse. The ad has a picture that shows a large console unit on the floor with a young boy, an older man and a sleeping dog gathered around it. The radio is on and the boy and the man are listening to it, probably to one of the Short Wave bands that the ad text mentions. The boy has a map of the world in his lap with white pieces of paper marking locations that he has received broadcasts from. The older man, wearing a sea captain's uniform, is listening intently while he puffs on a pipe and rocks in his rocker.

| Full color 10" x 14" ad drawn by Albert Dorne for the universal appeal of a Westinghouse. The ad has a small picture of a father, son and daughter having a race across the page. The larger picture shows what they were racing to. They are lined up in front of the Model 191 Radio-Phonograph and the daughter, who won the race, is sitting with a dreamy look on her face as she listens to the Jazz, Boogie and Samba records that are spread out in front of her. Her brother is sitting morosely staring at the Bach record that he prefers to listen to. The father, last in the race, is leaning against the doorframe with his paper in hand and pipe in his mouth wondering why he wasn't allowed a head start since he paid for the darned thing. The ad headline has the familiar words "You can be sure..if it's Westinghouse". This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view. |

| Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for Schlitz Beer. The drawing is of a scene on Christmas Eve as a couple is working on getting ready for Christmas Day. The wife is in the living room finishing the Christmas Tree and is looking into the kitchen at her husband. He is looking at the clock which reads 11:57 and is pouring the contents of a can of beer into a glass. Next to him is a case of Schlitz which he has just opened and a card that says "Do not open until X-mas". The look on the face of his wife I recognize as the one that precedes the phrase "Why aren't you out here working with me".
