Thanks for posting. A few things that are striking in these early ads:
1) The furniture!
2) Some makers advertising a range of products for a range of budgets.
3) Advertising hype based on some particular technical design feature like "balanced beam" - but they never really told you what it was, even though they claimed it put them ahead of everyone else, and even though there might be many other important things about a set's performance. There ensued many years of advertising "features" that nearly every chassis had, in addition to any real distinguishing features - the main thing was that some ad writer could find a catchy name. I have some later Motorola ads touting "Miracle Interlace!".
