As evidenced in these mid-last-century
magazine advertisements, Sylvania Electric marketing moguls learned early what sells
products by exploiting the nature of their audience. The cartoon-style ads shown
here appeared in social publications like
Look, Life, and Collier's, where both men and women - many of them numbnuts
- were the expected audience. Compare these with the type of cartoon ads run by Sylvania
in "serious" magazines like
Radio-Craft. Of course when you consider some of the
other comics
printed in the same "serious" magazines, you could excuse Sylvania if they ran
those social magazine ads here.
