Selling is an advertisement page for:

Elgin Watch Company

from 1920

This ad has a photo of an Elgin pocket watch in a presentation box. Above this is a painting (by Hugh Rankin) of Alfred The Great rousing his army as the time candle has burnt to the seventh ring. The ad text is about the early timepieces before the development of ‘more dependable time-meters’. This ad is one in a series of ‘Through the Ages with Father Time’ ads by Elgin. Just like the other ones I have listed, the men are ugly and the women gorgeous.

This ad is full page, approx. 7” x 10”, carefully removed from an actual 1920 magazine.
