Advertising through the Ages
by Bob Stahr

Reprinted from "Crown Jewels of the Wire", November 1996, page 12

Several months ago I ran across a previously undiscovered electrical publication. I thought that, between the hours of library research spent by either Elton Gish or myself, just about every known advertising journal had been found. Wrong!

What I found was the August, 1922 issue of Electrical Record, Volume 32, No. 2. It contained some interesting ads for radio strain insulators and lightning arrestors. I was aware that there was a cover story about this specialty collection in the works for CJ, the timing couldn't have been better. I will let the following ads speak for themselves.
