     From Those Were The Days -

    1/13

    1906 - Hugo Gernsback of the Electro Importing Company advertised radio
    receivers for sale for the low, low price of just $[removed] ($207 in 2017
    dollars*) in "Scientific American" magazine. The first ad selling the
    gizmos guaranteed reception of about one mile. We've worked at
    powerhouse radio stations that used to go that [removed] and less!
    (*[removed])

    1/14

    1927   Jack Benny married Sadye Marks on this day.

    1939   The program, Honolulu Bound, was heard on CBS. Phil Baker and the
    Andrews Sisters were featured on the program.

    1/15

    1945   Art Linkletter starred on the CBS debut of House Party. The show
    continued on the air for 22 years, including a long stint on CBS t-------n.

    1/16

    1939 - The shrill siren call of radio's "I Love a Mystery" was heard for

    1/17

    1938   Francis X. Bushman was the star of the program, Stepmother, which
    debuted on CBS. The show continued on the air for the next four years.

    1/18

    1929   New York Daily Mirror columnist Walter Winchell made his debut on
    radio, broadcasting a blend of political commentary and celebrity gossip
    to "Mr. and Mrs. [removed]" His quick jabbing, penetrating manner
    became his trademark. And so did wearing his fedora hat.

    1937   CBS introduced listeners to Aunt Jenny's Real Life Stories for
    the first time. A complete story was told in five, 15 minute episodes
    which aired Monday thru Friday each week. Aunt Jenny was played by Edith
    Spencer and later, by Agnes Young. The show continued on radio until
    1956 and was sponsored over the years by Spry shortening and Lux soap.
    Aunt Jenny's whistling canary, for those of you ready to inquire, was
    played by animal imitator, Henry Boyd.
