OK,
here's a photo set of the Ensemble Ad collection you've been clamoring
for. Anyone else out there with one or some of these? Let me know what
you have and send a photo to post! Enjoy!
This
is one of my "original" finds. Yes, the rumors are true! I found a trove
of these in the walls of my home! Our 1941 home is insulated with Minneapolis
Tribune and St. Paul Pioneer Press newspapers from 1939 and 1940. Actually,
out first home was too! After careful disassembly, many full sections slip
out of 60 year old "cold storage" and into my collection. I have found
two dates from 1939 that have this specific ad: April 16, 1939 and March
5,1939 both from the Minneapolis Tribune.
Here's the Ensemble
pictured on an original HLC ensemble package insert sheet. These came with
the Ensemble set as one ordered it from your local retailer. Note that
its $14.95 instead of the $15.95 as in the one above. This one is from
an Ensemble ordered from a store by the name of "Leath's" - can anyone
confirm this was a Wisconsin store? (that's where it was found). The most
awesome thing about this pc. is the back side! It is a sepia-tone
printed sales description with fantastic prose and fabulous images!
I've never seen anything like it - have you?
WOW!WOW!
Has
anyone ever seen this one before? In my opinion, this one is even better
than the familiar one above! It is all Fiesta (no Riviera serving pcs.)
and the colors are fantastic!
