Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
He’s not exactly reading Shakespeare. But at least he’s reading.
Hamlet just won't turn him on.
Dr. Fu Manchu will. And to a guy
who never read a book before in
his life-any book-it's a start.
He's a Corpsman at the Kilmer
Job Corps Center in New jersey
and like most other Corpsmen,
he's a school dropout. The problem:
how to get these boys to
start reading and writing so that
their mental skills match the job
skills they're learning.
Recently, Federal Electric Corporation,
an ITT subsidiary, which
runs Kilmer for the Office of Economic
Opportunity, set up an experiment
based on the work of
Dr. Daniel N. Fader.
Thousands of paperbacks of all
kinds were made available to
Corpsmen, and now boys who
never read a book before are reading
two or more a week.
As a boy's reading improves
and he learns sentence structure
and punctuation, his sophistication
in books grows.
When many of these boys
come to Kilmer, they find it almost
impossible to express themselves.
Now when they leave,
they've found an exciting new
way: with words.

A great Vintage Ad!
You pick your frame color, and you pick your mat color. We will mat and frame your Vintage Ad per your request and send it to you promptly. All you have to do is remove it from the box and hang it on the wall in your home, office, garage, man cave, or showroom!
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. Back side of Vintage Ad is glued to backing paper so that it continues to display flat over time. Here is what you will receive:
- New frame
- New mat
- New glass
- Vintage Ad
