totally different from anything you've ever seen before the miracle set they said couldn't be built the crosley super v the most compact and versatile tv set ever built everybody's excited over this crosley and it's no wonder it's a big full 17-inch screen and yet it takes up one-third less space than any other 17-inch set on the market now so you can really see the difference look here's your ordinary 17-inch receiver right beside the super v brother what a whopper this old one is you just try and lug this around the house why you wouldn't even consider lifting it but this one the super v but look you can carry it all around the house into the kitchen for daytime programs into the bedroom of someone sick into any room in the house and you just plug it in like a radio because there's a powerful antenna built right into the set and when warm weather comes you take it right out on the porch and watch the ball games now how's that for luxury living and all of this the big full 17-inch picture and this handsome wood cabinet all this is yours for a price that well it's the most amazing part about it just 139 139.95 in this beautiful walnut finish and that's only a dollar 45 a week it's available in london mahogany too and you can get it with all channel uhf at a slight additional cost this is the greatest television value ever offered so see the crosley super v this week at
