In the original radio broadcast version of "A Christmas Story," author and New York City's WOR station talk show personality Jean Shepherd mentions* how during the Great Depression, desperate men fell victim to the magazine ads promising fortunes to be made repairing radios**. Some, of course, actually succeeded, but doing so was difficult without substantial financial resources to fund test equipment, inventory, transportation, a workshop, etc., to get started. Two things electronics servicemen had in their favor at the time this National Schools Radio Home Training ad appeared in the October 1942 issue of Popular Electronics magazine was that many service-age men were going off to fight the Axis forces (or were planning to go), and that new radio production had ceased in order to dedicate resources to the war effort***, so replacing a broken radio with a new one was not an option. The copy appeals to both the man aspiring to run his own business and the man planning to apply his knowledge and services to the military. * Duel in the Snow, or, Red Ryder Nails The Cleveland Street Kid," from "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash." ** See National Radio Institute, RCA Institutes Home Training Ad, Cleveland Institute of Electronics, Coyne Electrical School, National Radio Institute. *** War Production Board from the War Powers Act National Schools Radio Home Training Ad
