TOTAL AUTOMATIC
COLOR TV
Since the dawn of Color TV, man has been plagued by
green and purple people ■ Night after night, they
haunt millions of TV viewers —transforming warm
human beings into ghoulish creatures ■ Now a minor
miracle has happened ■ Magnavox developed a truly
remarkable innovation called Total Automatic Color
■ TAC keeps the color right all the time —auto
matically ■ Ever) when you switch channels or the
scene changes (headache time on other makes, because
that’s when color usually turns bad) ■ TAC eliminates
the nuisance of jumping up and down to fix the color
■ TAC also keeps all pictures perfectly tuned —auto
matically ■ Just set it and forget it ■ And, the new
Magnavox Bright Tube makes pictures a lot brighter
■ So green and purple people needn't haunt millions
of viewers any longer —only other TV makers!

the successful accomplishment of
this Agency’s highly complex
mission. His dedicated sense of
responsibility and genuine in
terest in his work served as an
example for other personnel to

Getting that old paint
finish off is one of the major
problems in furniture re
finishing. Chemical paint re
movers that wash off with
water provide an easy way
of doing this. These paint re
movers contain an emulsi
fier that lifts off the remover
and the old finish when com
bined with water. Be sure to
follow the directions given in
applying the remover, then
simply wash off the old fin
ish and the wood surface
should be perfectly clean.
These new paint removers
are nonflammable and leave
no wax residue on the wood
