Terminal Radio Corp. Christmas and New Year Greeting
January 1941 QST

Other than today's QST magazine being a larger format and being printed in full color, there is not much difference fundamentally between the amount of Christmas-themed company advertisements now and half a century ago. The January 2024 (out now) issue of QST is chock full of Christmas-themed ads. Those from the last century were more likely to incorporate a religious message in addition to or instead of a secular message to their customers. Terminal Radio Corporation was located in midtown Manhattan. Google Maps can find West 45th Street and it can find Cortlandt Street, but they evidently no longer intersect. Many component supply companies were located in New York City because it was a primary point of import and export of manufactured goods.
