[Hallicrafters] Echophone Hogarth Ads

[Richard Knoppow]

     WW-2 vintage advertising for Echophone featured a 
cartoon character named Hogarth. I wonder if anyone knows 
anything about the artist or agency that created these ads. 
Some very early ones have a signature in one corner but I am 
unable to find an example right now. Later ads were of a 
different style and not signed.  I have done a web search 
but it does not seem to have this information.
     Hallicrafters seems to have pushed the Echophone as a 
morale receiver during the war. I wonder if they were 
available only to military personel.  The name did not last 
long after the war, the last Echophone becoming the 
Hallicrafters S-41.  Very late Echophone ads were 
introducing the idea of citizen's band radio.
