It wasn't all that long ago
that deadlines for magazine printing cycles were measured in months - unlike today
where electronics on-demand printing has cut lead times to weeks and even days.
Accordingly, this National Schools advertisement pitching "after the war" training
in electronics servicing that appeared in the September 1945 edition of Radio-Craft
magazine was likely designed and submitted two or three months ahead of the publication
month (e.g., in June or July). How could they be so sure that their scarce advertising
dollars wouldn't be wasted? Simple. By that time, the entire country seemed to have
a sense that World War II would come to an end soon since Hitler's, Mussolini's,
Tojo's, and other Axis Powers' forces were under severe stress and suffering profound
defeats in every theater. Surrender was deemed imminent. It was as if word had leaked
earlier in the year that Little Boy and Fat Man were under construction and about
to deliver the debilitating and psychologically devastating blow that would finally
end the saga. It turns out they were correct.
