All a bit before my time, but I still remember seeing some of those ads in later years. I think this is the one that sold my Mom the silverware we grew up with. http://www.americanartarchives.com/whitcomb_cmmplt_org_46dec.jpg
Nice find! I remember because my dad took the Famous Artist course by mail and Whitcomb was one of the instructors. He did a great job for Breck, that's for sure!
