Shown here 80 years ago is radio man B.F. Headrick of The Ideal Radio Service of Pueblo, Colorado, in the June-July 1946 issue of National Radio News.  Headrick had taken the National Radio Institute course, and by the 20th lesson, he started taking in some jobs in his home attic workshop. As he gained more experience, the business kept rolling in, and he charged regular prices for his work.

He later enclosed his house’s porch as his shop, and soon bought a shop of his own in the business district. He hired two more servicemen, and all three of them stayed busy 8 hours a day, 6 days a week. He had earned the reputation as the best and most honest radio repair man in town.

These 1960 obituaries for one Bueford F. Headrick seem to be the same person, and reveal that he died at about age 44.
