Description: Advertisement for Orville Gibson's mandolins. Gibson was aggressively promoting the idea that his mandolins represented progress. He disparaged the older round-back mandolins (Italian-style origin) as potato bugs (due to the striped pattern on their backs, from strips of wood in alternating colors).
