Norman Rockwell Painting Gee, Thanks Brooks ATO Advertisement
Description
A color slide showing an advertisement for ATO featuring Norman Rockwell's painting Gee, Thanks Brooks. The painting shows Brooks Robinson autographing a baseball for a young fan in the stands. Robinson is wearing a Baltimore Orioles home uniform and is signing the baseball with his left hand. The artist's name appears in the bottom right of the painting. There is text on the right-center of the reproduction that reads "A-T-O. Champions know us. And so do boys. If they don't know us as A-T-O, they know us for sure as Rawlings and Adirondack. Because we make a big percentage of their gloves, bats, shoes, baseballs and uniforms. In fact, we make a full line of quality equipment, for just about every sport played, tailored to the needs of everyone from beginner through seasoned pro. A-T-O is also known by more than twenty other names outside the sports world. Each name, from American LaFrance to Ward Hydraulics, is synonymous with excellence, "the finest in the field."
