History is Being Made!

October 29, 1960, Appleton Post-Crescent
Of course, the ad here refers to the historic Kennedy-Nixon presidential race of 1960, but how timely to get ready for THIS year's historic race, albeit with a bit more modern television.  Whatever your political affiliation, Admiral had you covered at the Music Box in the Brin building.   We've met this retailer before:

  1. That $199.95 is >$1600 in today's dollars. TV was still a luxury item in most households in 1960.
