Interesting that the artist was allowed to sign his own name to this ad. Or did Westinghouse hire an established artist of the time who insisted on signing his own work? The first name seems to be Frank, but I can't decipher his last name. Looks like it begins with Ow...perhaps Owen?

My parents had one of those 1950s era Westinghouse fans for many years — the thing was built like a rock.
