JIM: Assorted news, Christmas shopping guide - Columbia, 1947

There were still some shortages two years after World War II ended, but shelves offered ample merchandise. Jim does some price comparison, and a record of that Christmas 78 years ago shows that by todays music systems are terrific bargains today, compared to today.
Click on headline for complete story

By JIM

In the December 3, 1947 edition of the Adair County News, the above-the-fold front page headlines included such non-controversial entries as "Crowd Will Go to Inauguration" (in Frankfort) and "Christmas Seal Sale Starts Dec. 5," and these two, reflecting Adair County's agricultural heritage: "Adair Boy Champ Tobacco Grower" (the champ being Kenneth Taylor of the Gradyville 4-H club); and "Burley Brings Record Price," the latter claiming stake to the coveted upper right corner of the page.

Other lesser headlines proclaimed that Rev. W.C Wycoff would preach in Columbia on Sunday; that the J.P. Hutchison property on Burkesville Street soon would sell at auction, and that Lindsey Wilson Junior College had two games coming up later in the week. (A huge back page ad stated the Hutchison property was "One of Columbia's best locations for business places or a home." The property was to subdivided into about eight lots "so the buyer can get what he wants.")
