Image of a magazine advertisement with the title text "silicon transistors now in production!"

Text at the bottom left identifies it as the June 1954 issue of ELECTRONICS.

The advertisement consists of a row of eight three-pin solid state components "growing" in a field. There is a building in the distance behind them. The components are alternately labeled with Texas Instruments' Map-of-Texas logo and the number "900". From left to right, each component is closer to the viewer, and the fifth-to-closest one is labeled "actual size".

This text is overlaid on the image:

silicon transistors — long awaited by the electronics industry — are finally out of the laboratory and on the market ... brought to you first by Texas Instruments, a leading transistor manufacturer. A new and unrivaled degree of design freedom is created by the TI n-p-n grown junction silicon transistor, now available in production units with glass-to-metal hermetic sealing, silicon transistors radically improve temperature stability and power handling while retaining the best amplification and frequency characteristics of previous semiconductor devices.
