We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
It Starts Fights. “I have three girls and one boy in my family. I bought the TV last September. Fight, fight, fight; all we did was fight. Now I got a padlock on the set.” It Saves Money. “I figure we’ll pay for the set with the money we’ll save that we used to spend on the movies each week.” It's Too Expensive. “The set cost me $750. It costs too much for repair.” (Average annual repair bill in Video¬ town: $7.60.) It Rules The Home. “It’s as simple as this: either you run the TV, or the TV runs you.” It Doesn’t Rule The Home. “TV doesn’t run us. Whenever we get tired of the TV at home, why we just go down to Charlie’s Bar and see the show there.” It’s Bad For The Eyes. “My kid blinks all the time.” It’s Good For The Eyes. “My son had very bad eyesight and had to wear glasses. After watching TV for a month, his eyes got better and now he doesn’t have to wear glasses any more.” It Makes You Feel Good. (From an elderly housewife): “TV is won¬ derful. Before, you’d feel lonesome sometimes and have to go out. Now you just turn on the TV and you don’t feel lonesome anymore.” It Makes You Feel Bad. “Watching the TV makes me blue. You never get anywhere. You just sit here and get old.” It’s Worse Than Radio. “At least, you didn’t have to look at the sing¬ ing commercials on radio.” It’s Better Than Radio. “My husband always falls asleep when he listens to the radio. TV keeps him awake.” Guess that settles that. —Frank De Blois
