Antique Radio Craze and Persimmon Harvest Reflections
A vintage radio collector mood piece recalls 1920s Zenith sets and early portable models with price drops from 200 to 19.95. The piece shifts to J. T. Hill of Pritchett cultivating persimmons, selling them for four dollars a bushel, and crafting nylon netting for fish baskets and gourds. It notes legal mesh sizes in area counties and includes a persimmon pudding recipe and holiday craft tips amidst nut harvest commentary.
