Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Marvin Pipkin showing his invention of frosted soft white light bulbs
Author or copyright owner	General Electric
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: General Electric advertisement Immediate source: Lakeland Ledger newspaper of October 1, 2009
Date of publication	1950
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Marvin Pipkin
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	for visual identification of the person in question, at the top of his/her biographical article
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	Already looked in the usual places for a copyright free image and none were found (i.e. Flickr, Library of Congress)
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject, illustrating a single educational article. It is virtually impossible to accurately describe the character for a sufficient picture in one's mind with mere words.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	Since frosted soft white bulbs have been around since 1925, it will not hurt General Electric in the sale of the bulbs. There are better commercial promotions of the soft white light bulbs that have been around for decades. Technology is now changing to a new style of electronic bulb to replace the frosted soft white bulbs.
Other information	The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: 1977
