NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this really cool trade ad is a "fold-out" that has great full-length art of Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne! From the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks and exhibitor magazines, and they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. Sometimes those books and magazines are separated and the ads, which now greatly resemble the individually printed trade ads, are sold individually. The trade ad offered here was printed individually. It can be framed and displayed (but many trade ads have different images on each side, so one must choose which side to display if it is framed!). Condition: very good to fine. The trade ad is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
