A hundred years ago, it was going to be a Radio Christmas, as shown by this advertising feature in the Washington Herald, December 18, 1922.  Various dealers had completed sets starting for $11, and one of the ads noted that Santa still had plenty of time to set up a radio.

One of the ads mentions the “Literary Digest Hookup,” which is probably the set shown here, which we previously featured.  The plans for that set appeared in the April 22, 1922, issue of the magazine, and the girls shown here were later featured for having constructed it without assistance.

The newspaper noted that December 23-30 was to be Radio Week, a time for promoting the new art and putting more sets into American homes.
