Sylvania Electric Products
was born out of Hygrade Sylvania Corporation in 1942, and continued until 1959 when
it merged with General Telephone to form General Telephone and Electronics (GTE).
That puts this 1951 promotion in Radio-Electronics magazine smack dab in
the middle of their existence. Sylvania, like most major electronics products companies
of the era, made vacuum tubes, CRTs, incandescent lamps, radios, even
proximity fuses for warheads
during World War II. In the 1960s and 70s, Sylvania produced semiconductor
components and computers. Brick-and-mortar stores, whose primary competitors were
mail-order businesses back then, were typically replete with sales promotions like
this one featured in Radio-Electronics. Sylvania is now part of the
LEDVANCE
brand, owned by Chinese lighting company MLS. Is there any real American anything
left anymore? Here is the
Archive.org page on Sylvania's history, and here is an interesting piece on
founder
Frank Poor (who wasn't so poor following the company's immense success).
