THE DAY OF THE TV


Here we are, a few months away from needing converters if we have those old fashion rabbit ears on televisions. Now we have satellite or cable, or watch our favorite shows on our computers.
Think back about when you got your first television. Most likely it was black and white, (if you are old enough). In a blink you may even remember just where that television sat! Your parents may have bought it at Sjoberg's, or Gambles, or Sears, or Montgomery Wards. Or it may have been a gift, as the featured TV is in the picture above.
The set was given to the Anderson household by their son, Dick. I think the idea of taking pictures was wonderful! Look if you can, at the hair styles and clothing in the photo. See if you can see the draperies, the covers on the arm of the chair.
Let me flash back a moment. Remember me talking about the salt and pepper shakers? I wondered where Ella displayed them. They are on the wall in a shadow box, right above Ella's head! Yes! There are the two mallards! That dates the S&P to at least 50+ years!
Think about it.
