Thanks Chad.
I think Tony Mollica coined this one the first "info-mercial" advertisement, made to look like an article.
There is some serious name-dropping here.
I have this 1935 issue of Motor Boating and have the article PDF'd with all of the photos. It's 12 pages long! If anyone wants it send me an email.
