55 years ago today - Mar 7, 1959

CHURCH NEWS, after twenty-eight years without advertisements, begins advertising for such diverse enterprises as music stores, mortuaries, furniture stores, insurance agencies, banks, savings and loans, camera stores, jewelers, car dealerships, travel agencies, television repair, optical shops, and movie theaters. As largest single advertisement, American Motors president George W. Romney features himself in one-and-three-fourths-page spread for Kelvinator appliances on Jun 20, 1959. Commercial ads cease after Sept. 24, 1960.
