Interesting how ads like this haven't really changed in the past 70 years, though this particular format may finally die now that magazines are on their last legs.

I was struck by the address. That's right outside Dallas Love Field in a pretty run down area, which happens to also border one of the wealthiest neighborhoods.

They've since moved quite a bit east to an enormous campus.

Is it weird that I kinda wanna frame it and hang it somewhere?

Too bad it's a shitty scan and only available in 725x1047, from a website that claims

Texas Instruments engineer Gordon Teal invented the first silicon transistor based on germanium.

Which element is it, then?! You had one job!

I had to waifu2x to make it decent. You can take the isolated streaks at the top, stretch them with Krita and apply the Divide blend mode to "subtract" them from the image. I don't think you can eliminate them completely without some special tools.

Alternatively, here is a streak-free but not much better scan from the Electronics Magazine from June 1954.
