View of a car pulling a Crosley motorized salesroom Curtiss Aerocar trailer. "Crosley radios. You're there with a Crosley." The Crosley Distributing Corporation building in background. Label on back: "For immediate release. Motorized sales room used to sell Shelvadors. This motorized sales room is seen on the highways and in the streets in Ohio and Kentucky near Cincinnati daily. It is used by the Crosley Distributing Corporation of Cincinnati in cooperation with local Crosley dealers in the various cities and towns visited. Thus Crosley Shelvador electric refrigerators are brought to the very door of the prospect's home, and the housewife can step out and make her selection just as she would if she were to go to the dealer's store. Frank Pater is the special salesman who accompanies the trailer. With him goes the salesman for the local dealer, and together they call upon the dealer's prospects. This traveling salesroom has resulted in greatly increased sales of Crosley Shelvadors for the dealers using it. The equipment consists of a Chevrolet coupe and the Aerocar trailer. The lid in the back of the automobile is removed and the coupling mechanism includes an airplane wheel with full-inflated tire, thus cushioning out all jars in travel. James W. Beckman, Director of Public Relations, Crosley Radio Corporation." Handwritten on back: "Camping, '35."
