Shown here, eighty years ago, is the well-appointed service bench of radio serviceman A. Tomalino of Glendive Montana. He was featured on the cover of the April 1944 issue of National Radio News, which noted that he unquestionably had one of the finest radio businesses in the west.

A 1956 issue of the same magazine shows the shop’s address as 303-1/2 N. Merrill, Glendive. According to his wife’s 2007 obituary, Tomalino died in 1993, almost a half century after this photo was taken.
