1939 General Electric Television


Something is telling me that eventually I will need to expand the overall theme of this blog - we'll have to see.

So let's get to this posting.  This advertisement provides a glimpse into the pre-war world of selling the concept of the television to the general public - note the use of 'seeing' the baseball game. You can also see at the bottom of the ad mention of GE's presence at the 1939/40 New York World's Fair and the San Francisco Golden Gate International Expo.
