Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
How to cut glass with light!
The holes in this glass are as accurately made
as if they had been cut in metal by a high-precision
machine.
But actually they have been etched through
the glass-by a new process, developed at
Coming Glass Works, for machining glass by
photo-chemistry.
A photographic screen pattern for the holes
is first laid over a piece of special photosensitive
glass, which is then exposed to ultraviolet
light. When heat is applied, an identical pattern
is developed inside the glass. The heating process
changes the composition of that part of the
glass which has been exposed to the light so that
the holes can be etched out cleanly by immersion
in acid.
By this method, any design that can be recorded
on photographic film can be reproduced
in three dimensions in glass.
Corning's research indicates that this method
of machining glass will have many uses in the
fields of electronics, lighting and decoration.
Throughout industry, Corning means research
in glass-research that has helped glass become
a material of almost limitless uses. If you
are thinking in terms of improved products or
processes, consider Corning's glass before your
planning reaches the blueprint stage.

We mat and frame original, vintage magazine ads...they are in good condition, but may not be perfect as they are many decades old. Frame outside dimensions are 15" x 12", and matted ad is approximately 9-5/8" x 6-5/8" (could be slightly different, depending on ad).
Frames and vintage ads are actual as shown, and mat is computer generated for online viewing. Actual mat is custom cut for each individual ad and mat color will be similar to the colors shown on the website. “Travel Route 3 Scan” watermark is placed on the ad for online viewing only, and is not part of the final product.
