This is a moving WWII era 1944 advertisement by Stromberg-Carlson featuring a returned home soldier who “today smiled for the first time.” There is text about a soldier whose wound had healed, but was still healing mentally. Unique subject of post war stress from WWII.

Strombert-Carlson made sound equipment, including radios, televisions, telephones. The healing power of music is part of the appeal of this ad. Also in the ad is a description of their “E” Flag, to give blood, buy bonds and support the troops and country.

The ad is 10x14 and in b&w. It is in very good condition.
