That was in Milwaukee, a smaller city. You can imagine, the amount of shops in the larger cities, like New York and Chicago.

I have copies of 1939,1959 and 1970 yellow pages for Reading,Pa a town of 75,000 in the early-60s heydays of repair. How randomly-mentioned services and brands changed over time IS very entertaining. Check your own locale's TV history at Libraries, Historical society or news paper archives. You'll likely get a big kick out of it
