Duffys Tavern - The Millionaire - April 6, 1945 - Sitcom
Audio Introduction gives a brief background on "Duffy's Tavern" program... introduces the program on this track (The Millionaire) and makes some comparison between Ed Gardner's Archie and Carroll O'Connor's Archie as part of Norman Lear's "All in the Family" program. (This track will be in a Duffy's Tavern" playlist on this site)
"Tavern" is misspelled in the image? :) Maybe the sign person spent too much time in the "Tavenrn"?

The Shadow - Firebug - April-March 1938 - Orson Welles
Audio introduction gives general background on "The Shadow" and introduces the track entitled "Firebug." For a recording that was made 85 years ago, it is well preserved. Goodrich Silvertown Tires is the sponsor, A set of 4 tires would have cost $56 in 1938, but that is a pretty significant amount considering the average annual salary was $1731. That amount of money...adjusting for inflation would now be $38,726.... an increase of 2,138.33%!. Those $56 tires would now cost a little over $1100.00.
Never mind the tires... enjoy the show! This track will be in "The Shadow" playlist.
