TV Junior Special Birthday Issue
TV Junior was a sort of TV Guide for kids that was published for a time during the late 1950s. The monthly magazine carried articles about network programs such as Howdy Doody and Dennis the Menace, as well as activity pages that were often tied to a local kidvid personality. This must have required many different editions of the mag for various regions around the country, as suggested by the notation "Minn." in the upper left corner of this 1959 edition. What a logistical nightmare for the publisher ­ but what a cool collectible for TV fans today!
