Also posting these 2 ads inviting customers to view Pacific Mercury color receivers
at Los Angeles area stores. #1 is from the Dec-31-53 L.A. Times for the Dorn's Dept. Store showing a broadcast of the 1st color telecast of the Rose Parade from NBC, Jan 1, 1954.

Ad #2 is from a March, 1954 So. Ca. newspaper also inviting folks to view a Pacific Mercury prototype color TV at an L.A. area appliance store. The ad also states that production of color tv's will begin as soon as TV stations begin regular color broadcasts.

The chassis for this prototype set still survives as seen in the attached photos.
