Tongue in cheek comment. Still I was taken aback by the repetitive
advertising by one company. Almost every third page was a full page ad
by Eton - over and over. Made me think of the magazine Pentax once
published. It contained good information on photography, but lots of
Pentax ads too.

This is nothing new in Passport. Grundig Corp. (=Eton) has had repetitive,
full color ads throughout Passport for the last few years.

uh DUH the store in Canaduh is EATONS - owned by Sears, I believe. I
guess that now makes it the high priced K-Mart.

;-)

That would be Eaton's (eh) as in the Timothy Eaton Company (eh)
Later known at the T. Eaton Company, then simply known as Eaton's,
then later bought out by The Hudson's Bay Trading Company, which is now
known as "The Bay" - so ends the Canadian retail history lesson.

On to the radio: Eton is the resurrected Grundig.

(Beauty eh, like Grundig makes great radios, not for hosers...)
