The Japs, according to rumors reaching local dealers, provide the only hope for a moderate supply of the scarce vari-colored bulbs. Otherwise, the local situation will be the same as it was during the wai years--very few available.

American-made bulbs were just beginning to reach the local markets. Out.

String gone. "The minute one of the bulbs burned out, the whole set Is shot," declared one Irritated housewife, "And, you can't pur chase an individual bulb, so what do you have to do--go out and buy a whole new set.
