Contents include the development of "natural color" FM radio, automatic record changer turntables, educational recordings, portable radios with rechargeable batteries, floor model console radios with no external antennas, and the coming magic of television - including projection TV.

The back page of the brochure reads "Tune in to General Electric's All Girl Orchestra, on Sunday at 10 PM, E.W.T.

We have a winnah!

Eastern War Time - Beginning in 1942, War Time took effect, putting the entire lower 48 in Daylight Savings Time year round.

The brochure is from 1944, and has many references to "when peace returns", "when GE can again devote its resources to peacetime production", etc.
