"The New Art" is a an undated booklet from Canadian General Electric that looks, judging from the typography and clothing styles, to be from the mid to late 1930's. The boxy, utilitarian look of the Servel has given way to sleek, architectural styling -- like a streamlined train or a Mormon temple. The booklet also features pictures of GE's futuristic looking Hotpoint range.
