That edition is a little before my time, but many of the advertisers were still around in the 1960s. See the Progressive "Edu-Kit" on page 115? Bought that when I was 12. Got into phase two of three of the kit, then wired it wrong and burned up the selenium rectifier. Totally stunk up the house for several days. I still have the complete set of books from the Grantham correspondence course on p. 25. Took that course when I was 13/14, right before my first ham license. Sure is funny to see that stuff in print, haven't thought about it in many years.
