Interesting. That old saying sure holds true: "The more things change, the more they stay the same." Just look at those ties. And the shoes. Some of the styles are "timeless".

1948 really was the high water mark for those really wide gaudy, jazzy ties. Can't get enough of them!

Yup, the Bold Look was in full swing.

Is it me or does Radio Reporter Ben Gramer's coat look like an early lounge suit? It's even made of rayon (blech! too hot for summer use).

I've been listening to Peter Donald on "Can You Top This?"
He looks like my Scoutmaster, Mr. Ryan.

I'll take everything on page 71. Thanks for sharing!

Can't comment on the suit, but it's Ben "Grauer"... difficult to see on those pages. I believe in the 1970s, he would be in Times Square on New Years Eve for CBS television, while Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians were playing at ________ Hotel. Oops, can't remember which hotel.
Anyway, old traditional stuff for those not with-it enough to watch Dick Clark on ABC.
