Old stereo and record ads- 1974 (PART 3)

Pete Kelly's Blues~ Dr Budd

PETE KELLYS BLUES was a early 1950s radio drama with Jack Webb. It was very "noir" , but much more understated than its contemporaries PHILLIP MARLOWE and othe detective types. Webb plays a 1920's "hot jazz" (sort of dixieland) musician in the bad end of town who gets mixed up with gangsters. Things don't end up all nice and tidy as in most radio dramas of the day.
Six episodes are all the exist, none with very good audio qualities. I think they are worth hearing. Here is my favorite of the group.
From Sept 19 , 1951

Everyone knows I go nuts for comic book full page panels (as opposed to splash pages). Here is a nice one from Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #136 (April 1967)

Title was the price

FORTUNE magazine cost a fortune during the height of the Depression..$16.50 in today's value. I've seen magazines as much as half that, which I left on the shelves. Maybe the info contained therein helped someone make a fortune.
