Being a fan of both Red Adair and (of course) Rolex, I really like the Rolex President ad featuring Red. I first learned about him from a relative of his, Tex Adair, who worked for the Anaheim Union High School District. AUHSD was an IAQ client of mine. But I've been bummed that the only scans of the Red Adair ad are such low res that I can't even read the ad copy. And I've only seen scans in black and white. The flames in the background deserve color. So I found an original of the ad from 1973 and scanned it myself. Here is a copy that I down-res'd from a 90MB tiff, in Glorious Color!
Enjoy the ad copy!
