Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

First thing was, this big magazine down there in New York City, they had a contest or something. I don't rightly know how our town got into it, but it was a contest for finding out which little town in the whole of the USA was the most typical town — in other words, which was the most American, which came the closest to having the kind of people and streets and ideals and so on that we come to think of as real, rock-bottom American. And one bright day— well, it was a rainy day as a matter of fact, but that's no matter — one day it was all over town that the town they'd picked was us. Us — Rushville Center! It was Charley, the fellow down at the Mansion House Coffee Shop, passed the news on to me while I was having breakfast there. Charley gets his news straight from the folks who make it, I guess, for I've never seen the time when he wasn't the first to hear whatever's going on.
