Item description from seller

Pamphlet. Single sheet folded once to form four pages. Near fine with some very light wear. A pamphlet touting a performance by Maurice J. Francill, "America’s Radio Wizard," who traveled the country in the 1920s and 1930s giving exhibitions of his radio control technology on cars, trains, boats, and various industrial machinery. The front and rear wraps features verbiage for an upcoming exhibition by Francill along with an advertisement for a New London, Connecticut Ford dealer, while the inside contains a message to spectators describing how important the selection of the perfect vehicle is to his performance and how that vehicle can only be a Ford. An interesting example of automotive cooperative advertising and early leading edge technology used as entertainment.
