I'm looking for any old time radio print ads or posters, which may have advertised favortie radio programs from the 30's, 40's or early 50's. Certainly there must have been some kind of advertising in print, which showed radio personalities, characters, and features, such as musical themes, or special episodes. I'm particularly interested in ads/posters from more popular, nationally heard old radio shows. I would like to obtain copies of such ads or posters, at minimal expense, and within a few weeks time. If anyone knows of such ads or posters, please contact me at my email address,a.s.a.p. Thanks!
