Out of stuff from the local hardware shop, of course!

Regarding the content of modeling mags, I recently picked up a couple of old Model Airplane News issues on eBay, a couple from the 50's and one from 1932. What's amazing is how little the writing style has changed. The products were different and the old mags seem to talk more about "young men" and how they can prepare for careers as a aeronautics engineer but other than the rather quaint optimism towards a technologically brilliant future, the articles sound like they could have been written this year.
