LEFT:A
closer look at the card at the center of the TV display. "Million
Proof" tellys on sale. Pizitz had what it called a "television studio"
on the 6th floor.
RIGHT: May I recommend the RCA "Kent" model? It's been marked down to a reasonable $269.95! You know you want one .... otherwise you'll miss Uncle Miltie, Your Show of Shows and that guy on Channel 13, the one who's a magician and has those neat puppets. And HOPALONG CASSIDY will be here in person at Pizitz! I can imagine all the kids who were counting the hours and minutes to Saturday morning..... |
