Believe it or not, there are
people who pay for vintage advertisements like these (no, I'm not trying to sell
it).
eBay is chock full of auctions for original pages from the old
magazines that contain ads for products and services. Often, if you know where to
look, you can buy the entire magazine in which a particular ad appeared for only
a little more. People sometimes frame them and either hang them for decoration or
present them to a parent or grandparent as a memorial to their lives. Stranger things
are done. This ad for
Detrola
Radio appeared in the January 1945 edition of Radio News. Detrola,
as the name suggests, the company was located in Detroit, Michigan.

 Esmeralda Cope Has
Two Jobs ...
Esmeralda Cope is one of many hundreds of women workers in the Detrola Radio
Division who now are building land mine detectors, FM signal generators and other
electronic war equipment. This job continues until Victory. But without detracting
from this primary task, many of these workers are being acquainted also with their
post-war assignments on the same production lines. Thus they will be ready to build
hundreds of thousands of fine radio receivers, automatic record changers, television
receivers and other products to enrich the life of a world at peace. Yes, Esmeralda
Cope has two jobs. And International Detrolas creed of highest quality rules them
both.
