December 12, 1958 Appleton Post-Crescent
With Christmas, 1958 quickly approaching, the Post-Crescent was only too happy to offer their daily gift suggestions in conjunction with local merchants. This day's edition offered slacks from Grove Clothing, Texaco products from Verbrick's Service, and a furnace from Menasha Sheet Metal. Of special interest are the TV lamps of Music Box Associates at the Brin Building. And just in case you've forgotten, during that first decade of mass television adoption, there was that common belief that watching TV in low light could damage one's eyesight. So the TV lamp was invented to add a little light to the room and dispel people’s fears. The one atop our Zenith was also a planter.
I had to look up what a velocipede was.
