This centerfold from the Spring 1947 White Rose News reminded me that simpler and
less hectic days existed before television and shopping malls . Reminded  may not be the
correct word , because I wasn't even born yet when this advertisement was published .
Radio was the entertainment of the day  and a great advertising medium.
The following is the text of the above ad:

   Presented each week over many broadcasting stations from the Atlantic to the Rockies
and brought to you with the compliments of your local WHITE ROSE DEALER.
