Default Oldest working light bulb (Attn Cuhulin)

There used to be a G.E.factory here in Jackson that manufactured
incadescant and flourescent light bulbs.When my old buddy got out of
active duty (U.S.Navy) back in the mid 1960's,he worked there for a
couple of years,then he got a job delivering the U.S.Mail.(he retired
from the U.S.Navy Reserves unit here in Jackson [about 30 years or so]
and the U.S.Post Office too)

I dont believe G.E.makes crappy light bulbs.I own quite a few old
G.E.tube type and transistor radios and most of them work ok.I will keep
on buying and useing G.E.Reveal 60 watt incadescant light bulbs as long
as the stores keep on selling them.By the way,I noticed they sell very
well at the local Jackson stores around here,even though there are tons
of flourescent light bulbs sitting next to the G.E.light bulbs on the
shelves.(in Jackson,we like REAL Light Bulbs)
