Headwork in the Garden (Feb, 1957)
This would be awesome in one of those iPod dancing silhouette ads.
Headwork in the Garden
THE chic hat Paul Johnson of Jacksonville, Fla., wears while gardening may not keep off the iun, but it will bring in all local radio stations. The one-tube radio headset operates on two dry cells to enable him to keep up with his favorite programs while doing outdoor chores.
I salute his creativity.
Why is he pruning plants at midnight?
Creative indeed but also a little wierd.
@rsterling78
He’s pruning at midnight because that’s when his radio works best for long-distance signals…
I could just see a whole ‘flock’ of those at a Steampunk convention.

I’m pretty sure, that the antenna was originally a neat lookin dipole, but he forgot to hunch in a doorway.
Cheers:Jari

It looks more like one of those devices crazy people wear to keep the CIA from reading their thoughts.

It not only keeps HIM entertained while he gardens, it keeps the neighbors entertained…
And I’m pretty sure it’s not actualy at midnight, that’s just the effect of the flash photography plus the high-contrast newspaper printing.
Wow, we sure have come along way, someone get this poor man an iPod before he gets struck by lightening
