Monstrous Trade Ads
From Box Office Magazine

These boffo trade ads were scanned by It Came From Hollywood from Box Office Magazine (1952 to 1956). Trade ads were designed to alert the theater manager to new movies for their silver screens that could bring in good box office receipts to keep the projector humming. Some trade ads were a full page while others could spread across multiple pages, and they were illustrated and worded with gusto to attract attention and excitement.
