This one tells a story of the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament, text below:

The very first Wimbledon tournament of 1877 was rather different in size and spectacle from the event we know today. The final of the Men's singles (the only event) attracted just 200 spectators, who each paid a shilling to watch the proceedings. The total profit from the entire Championship was £10. Nowadays, around 400,000 people pour into the grounds to watch the 443 matches in the five main Championship events, plus 357 other contests spread over the 18 courts. The All England Club employs upwards of 7,000 people for ancillary duties during the fort-night, to supplement the 64 permanent staff. All the players have to be looked after. TV cameras and commentators must be installed. There are people to deal with catering, programmes, transport, and of course, the ever-growing demand for tickets. The end product - the public face of Wimbledon - is the presentation of the best players, in the 

best possible conditions, producing the finest tennis. Preparations for next year's fortnight will have begun before this year's finals have been played. Detailed planning is obviously of paramount importance. More than a century of experience, makes sure that even in those years when there are interruptions from the weather, The Championships are still completed on time. And in style. The Rolex Watch Company of Geneva plays a major role at Wimbledon. As the official timekeeper. On court, Rolex clocks inform spectators of both the time and the duration of the match. Not only spectators rely on Rolex for perfect timing. Many of the world's top players choose to wear a Rolex Oyster. Its tough, rugged construction provides more than adequate protection for its exact mechanism against the power and speed of the modern game. Both on and off the courts, Rolex 7 always has been, and always will be, part of the most famous tennis tournament in the world. In fact, Wimbledon wouldn't be Wimbledon without Rolex.

Due to the layout and printing of magazines it is sometimes hard to cut out the Vintage Ads in good alignment, therefore some framed ads may not be perfectly centered inside of the frames. 

These Ads are often over 20 years old so will show general signs of wear such as light creases or blemishes
