"Happy Days are Here Again" went
the most popular tune of 1930, but for most Depression-era Americans, the
sentiment amounted to wishful thinking. In 1932, Hoover was defeated by FDR by a
landslide. After this runaway victory, it became apparent that FDR embodied an
optimism and speaking voice that seemed tailor-made for radio. He delivered
regular radio addresses to the nation known as "Fireside Chats." But FDR's chats
weren' the only thing Americans were listening to. Americans were relying upon
radio as their evening entertainment. The tunes and talk were enjoyed on radio
sets just like Crosley's Companion. Careful attention to detail makes this mini,
yet magnificent, Cathedral-style radio as authentic as the 1930's original. $49.95 Features:
