Non-barking scrip
Always watching for things that "should have" happened but didn't....
Been reading lots of electronics and radio mags from the '30s. FDR's first few months gave authors plenty of talking points.
Predictably, radio stations and dealers and manufacturers were afraid of new regulations or pushing hard for new regulations, depending on whose ox was regulated. That's normal and constant.
Also predictably, the end of Prohibition opened new horizons in advertising. Nothing succeeds like addiction.
But what about the bank closure? For three months the regular structure of payments was disrupted. Supposedly business was impossible. Where is it? Nowhere. No mention of lost sales, no useful hints and kinks for dealing with scrip. Not there at all.
What else was trending in 1933?
Sponge Bob!
