AN EXCITING VIEW of the Grand Canyon was the high, spot of the evening with
an old-fashioned stereopticon. Today, the scene from otir living room has been ?
widened enormously. The whole world is on display. The magic of radio and tele
vision brings news and entertainment to millions 0 American.
But to mass produce millions of ndtog and television setsmanufacturers .
must be able to sell them by the millions. Only by advertising can a
manufacturer talk to millions of people at the same time.
ADVERTISING TELLS the story of newer radios and television sets . . . and helps
sell them. The more it sells, the more must be made keeping the production lines
and the jobs goin. The Tesult: newer, better sets at prices more people can afford to "
pay. Advertising helped make the difference in radio and television, and in ow
American way of life.
