Radio at the Omaha Better Homes Show, 1923

1923Apr29Omaha1A hundred years ago, Omaha was gearing up for the Better Homes Exposition to be held at the Omaha Auditorium.  The April 29, 1923 issue of the Omaha Bee contained a special section highlighting the exhibits and lectures that would be there during the event.  Admission was only 25 cents.

A modern home would not be complete without a radio, and the A. Hospe Co., 1513 Douglas St., would have the set here on display.  They guaranteed that you would pull in stations as far away as 1500 miles, and hearing Havana or Puerto Rico wasn’t out of the question.
