Early Advertisement for the Friden 130
Late 1964

This is an early advertisement for the Friden 130 Electronic Calculator. This advertisement is slightly later than the Advertisement found in Newsweek magazine dated November 2, 1964, as the ad shown here uses the nomenclature "130 ELECTRONIC CALCULATOR" on the front panel of the calculator, while earlier ads use "ELECTRONIC CALCULATOR 130", as do the prototype versions of the machine. The prime indication of the early nature of this advertisement is the mention that Friden is a subsidiary of The Singer Company. Later references refer to Friden as a division of Singer.
