1946 full-page (10 1/2 x 13 1/2) color magazine ad for Presteline Electric Ranges
Title- “Your 1950 electric range…Today!” – The ad shows a stove that must have bee the dream of every American housewife in 1946.
Vintage magazine ads offer a fascinating glimpse of real-life history, an archive of what advertisers thought the world wanted. Ready to frame, matte or laminate, these authentic classic ads can add to the unique decor of your home, business or showroom.
Suitable for framing my ads are authentic, and carefully cropped from original publications. Come see my Antique Advertising webpage at sessmith.wix.com/antiquead2 .
History- Presteline electric ranges were manufactured by the Pressed Steel Car Company Inc. of Chicago. That company was incorporated in 1899 to make passenger, freight and street railway cars and to make trucks, wheels, and other parts of cars.
Condition- The ad is in excellent condition with some toning around the edges and a small tear in the right edge.
You can pick this up in Porters Lake. I do go into northend Halifax once a week during the lunch hour and could meet you there if that is easier.
