Testor Corporation's Christmas Message
January 1961 American Modeler

January 1961 American Modeler
January 1961 American Modeler Cover - Airplanes and RocketsTable of Contents

These pages from vintage modeling magazines like Flying Aces, Air Trails, American Modeler, American Aircraft Modeler, Young Men, Flying Models, Model Airplane News, R/C Modeler, captured the era. All copyrights acknowledged.

Once upon a time in America, many companies big and small, privately owned and publically controlled, and even federal, state, and local governments freely and openly sent Christmas messages to patrons and subjects, confident that the vast majority of recipients would gratefully accept the spirit of the intended sentiment.

I today's easily - or falsely - offended world, only the brave who do not fear retribution dare to wish someone a Merry Christmas without first ascertaining the likely response. From the Airplanes and rockets website, "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"
