Magazine Work


I. Paul Rader’s ads for Lovable Bras and GE kitchens appeared in such magazines as LIFE and GOOD HOUSEKEEPING. When the Raders moved to Florida, their house had a GE kitchen, just like the thousands Rader’s ads had sold 30 years before. On the left, an ad clipped from a 1951 LIFE. On the right, LIFE, May 19, 1952, an issue that has both Lovable and GE ads by Rader.

The Lovable ads say “painted from life by famed illustrator Paul Rader”. Ray Johnson, another maga-zine and pb artist, also did some Lovable ads.

Paul Rader did the cover for the October 1961 issue of TRUE DETECTIVE, which was shown at the start of this catalog.
Detail from “Woman Worth Waiting For” in GUY, December 1963. Since GUY reprinted pieces from MAN’S magazine, this must have appeared earlier in MAN’S. If the woman looks familiar it’s because Rader has redone the cover art from Midwood 41, A GIRL CALLED HONEY by Lord & Marshall. <
<MAN’S and GUY were published by Pyramid and often recycled art from Pyramid paperbacks. The illustration below is from “Women Without Shame” by Fields in GUY, August 1968.
