1922: LONG BEFORE TRANSISTORS AND PORTABLES

THIS YOUNG LAD PROBABLY WENT ON TO BECOME A RADIO AMATEUR. HERE HE PROUDLY EXHIBITS HIS MOBIL BROADCAST RADIO PROVING THAT HE WAS RIGHT IN THE MIX WITH THE BROADCASTING CRAZE WHICH WAS SWEEPING AMERICA.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE OFFSET PHOTO PROCESS IN THE 20'S WAS LACKING IN MANY RESPECTS....ONE OF WHICH WAS THE DIFFICULTY IN PRINTING A CLEAR IMAGE. HOWEVER, IT IS STILL INTERESTING TO SEE HOW BROADCAST RADIO, SCARCELY TWO YEARS OLD, WAS CAPTURING THE IMAGINATION OF AMERICA'S YOUTH.
