January 1950 Radio & Television News Cover - RF Cafe Website[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio & Television News, published 1919-1959. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

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.
