I DO remember all those Gotham ads. But, curiously, I never actually talked
to anybody who actually was using one. Even in the 1950s, Gotham prices
seemed impossibly low. I always wondered if they worked and how well they
were constructed? And if nobody bought them, how did the company pay for all
those QST and CQ magazine ads?

Nostalgia is getting to me.

Remember all those good old Gotham adds in the magazines?
