Hallicrafters was founded
in Chicago in 1932 by William J. Halligan. He formed the company name based on a
combination of Halli(gan) and (hand)crafters -
clever, non? Since Hallicrafters made radio gear for commercial, amateur radio,
and military applications, their advertisements appeared in most of the major electronics
magazines of the time -
QST,
Popular Electronics,
Radio & Television News, etc. It is interesting to see
how product physical appearances changes over the years as user preference, materials,
and technologies evolve. Knobs, dials, and toggles switches have been largely
replaced by pushbuttons nowadays. This full-page ad appeared in the February, 1970 issue
of Popular Electronics.
