sets wooden cabinets.I once worked at a factory in Jackson that made
wooden TV set cabinets for Zenith and other companies.It was the old
Storkline factory before that) were thangs of Beauty.Nice Looking thangs

Back in 1925 Crosley made a 'pup' radio that sold for $10.
One tube.

Their advertising dog was a ripoff from the RCA dog.
