DEPRESSION Ads

 A look at some Tudor City advertising that ran early in the Depression. 

Its cutting edge art deco look coupled with its last phrase ‒Unusual Services ‒ set this ad apart from the others.

If you live in Tudor City and walk to your office you save 2 hours of railroad time each day ‒ 60 hours of daylight a month ‒ really five days.

You won't use all of them at once, of course. 

And there are a lot of other things this young lady doesn't know. For example, that Tudor City is the one place in New York today where you can really live.

Tudor City's rents are modest. No need to hurry at any time. Plenty of time for your morning shower, plenty of time for a leisurely breakfast and then for an unhurried stroll to your office. But convenience of location is only one of the dozens of advantages Tudor City holds. Come and see for yourself.
