What I find interesting about the ornament graphic is the use of a three sided German reflector rather than a plain early reflector made in America 
Since the turn of the century, consumers were used to buy one or two bulbs in a transaction. The practice continued into the early 1940s when bulbs were sometimes sold two for $.15 
In this ad, the graphic looks like an ornament from Poland or the Czech Republic but they were not imported into the United States during the years 1940-1947 
Corning Glass Works, the manufacturer of all Shiny Brite and George Franke ornaments stayed hidden but the company’s technology was touted as Air Blown 
Finally, the market shifts to consistently selling ornaments by the dozen.
