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

The salesman consulted the price tag, marked down a few subtractions on a writing pad, then turned, to Shirley. "Three hundred and twelve dollars plus tax. . ." "Three hundred and twelve dollars plus tax!" Shirley cried out. "You must be out of your mind! I can't afford that."

Her thrift amazes and amuses her husband, Steve Parker, who believes life's little luxuries are worth paying for. They make many a compromise — but not when it concerns their two-year-old daughter, or gifts for those they love. 39
