| Full color 10" x 13 1/2" ad for Frigidaire refrigerators. The ad has a picture of a young mother throwing a party for a group of young children. Three of the children have gathered around the open door of her new Frigidaire where she is removing two quarts of ice cream and two girls are "window shopping" for their next meal. The ad headline asks "Do you want these advantages in Your next refrigerator?" and the text describes many of the features that were being offered. This ad, which came out after Germany had surrendered but while the war was still going on with Japan, talks about "Victory is our business" and indicated that the features described will be available when production of non-war materials resumes. 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 6 1/4" x 9 3/4" ad that reminds you that "You can be sure...if it's Westinghouse". This ad has a picture drawn by Albert Dorne that shows an old Sea Captain who is holding a pipe in his hand as he sits in his old rocking chair listening to broadcasts from around the world with his grandson who has a map in his hand nearly finished glass of milk on the floor and a faithful dog as a backrest. Their point of attention is a multi-band Westinghouse radio with a wood cabinet decorated with ornate drawer pulls. The text talks about the "estra value features" that the Westinghouse products are equipped with and mentions many of the electronic features that can be built into their units. |

| 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" ad for Hiram Walker's Imperial Blended Whiskey with a four-frame story drawn by Albert Dorne. The storyline shows four men from about the time this product was first distilled paying croquet and singing a commercial. The words start "When Grandpa's cronies gathered 'round to roll 'em through the wicket -" then "A mellow, friendly tasting drink was voted just the ticket -". As the ball strikes the post it goes "If you'd like old-time taste like that there's one sure way to pick it -" then the men all stand together and harmonize "Just tell the man you want Imperial". A large mention is made of the fact that "Hiram Walker's 92 years at fine whiskey-making makes Imperial good!". |

| 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".
