Hope this finds you well and safe.  Given the season, I thought this might amusing.

I'm tearing out walls in my house and there's 70 year old newspaper in there.
Here’s a Christmas ad from the Chicago Tribune Dec 6, 1948.

Television was the exciting new big technology. Broadcast networks for TV were forming and you could now watch live sports from home. (Well maybe a game once in a while.)  $299. - financing available, bought you a 12 inch black and white CRT TV for Christmas. In today's dollars that's over $3,000.

Even so, if you were following the technology back then you knew that console radio in the living room was not going to be there much longer.

Happy Holidays
