December 1948




Closing on Christmas Eve ...

Could you imagine that today??  Why, think of all the last-minute "Oops, I forgot that bottle of cheap perfume for my girlfriend" men who were plum' outta luck.

There'll be no "parking" for you at Birmingham's Largest Parking Lot.  You're in the dog house for sure, buddy.

"Polly wanna a ticket.  BWOCK!"




So much for milk and cookies.



Yes sir, this new Silvertone console plays those 
newfangled long-playing 33 RPM albums.

DILEMMA: You're going to be out shopping and will miss your "stories" on radio.
SOLUTION: Buy a "Recordette", the VCR of its day.  Records on handy "78-Rs"
