Aired in 1955 . Interesting watch . Also a lot of the comics the kids are reading are worth  a pretty penny today .

Thanks for posting this.

Have seen it before. Awsome clip if you collect PCH. A bit far fetched but a sign of the times. Today we might call it “fake news”. 

After seeing it again, it’s a wonder that many of these books survived let alone in nice shape.

Yes, thx for posting it;

typical '50's alarmist stuff like the Red Scare.  He was a bit behind the times though, since he mentioned that the CCA had already gone into effect, and the books displayed were all from previous years.  Would love to see the story the one kid told of the guy that buries the gold, err, diamond digger in the celler and collects her hands, LOL.

Hopefully, you don’t bind and gag your customers and threaten them with a pocket knife?
