October 1960 Electronics World Cover - RF Cafe WebsiteTable of Contents

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Electronics World, published May 1959 - December 1971. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

In the 1950s and 1960s, S&H Green Stamps were the hot item for handing out to buyers of your goods and services. Housewives coveted them at grocery and department stores, and he who wore the pants in the family often opted for the gas station and hardware store that handed them out in proportion to money spent. That was also the era when banks gave out toasters, blenders, and clothes irons for opening a new savings account. Channel Master (the TV antenna company) decided it would one-up those enticements by offering Wm. Rogers Holloware Service silver-plated serving trays to distributors who agreed to purchase a certain volume of tubes. This promotion of course was not directed to Harry Homeowner who bought a few tubes per year to service a flaky television or radio. Depending on the condition, most of those silver-plated plates and trays are selling for between $10 and $40 ($1 to $4 in 1960 dollars).
