It's an interesting read if you go back to the beginning of the 'booklet'.
Also worth noting: In 1965 dollars, color TVs between 15 and 25" (in about their fourth year of practicality) ran from $270 to $1200 - in 1965 dollars. That's between $1800 and $8000 in today's money - about equivalent to the third-to-fourth years of HDTV, the paradigm shift that finally put the color tech used in those 1965 TV sets in its coffin.

On page 19 it talks about how 3-D TV is "getting closer."
What a hoot! I was 9 when that issue came out. I used to read my grandpa's Popular Science issues all the time. I remember "Say, Smokey," "New Ideas from the Inventors," "Wordless Workshop," and a bunch of the other features. The ads are pretty entertaining too. Thanks for the memory trip, Peri!

I'm addicted to the things now. Google books rocks. The funny thing is how the "get career training" and "start your own business" scams have been essentially the same for almost 100 years. Big money in locksmithing! Start your own tree trimming business! $500 a week in TV repair! Fix small engines, recession proof! Rug cleaning! Window washing! Saw sharpening! _________________
