'Published every now and then for Collins men and women in the service'

• How many of you remember the company newsletter Collins Column ?

• First published in May 1943, it was used to communicate with Collins Radio Co. employees called into military service during the war.

• Monthly issues were filled with day-to-day plant happenings, photos, sports scores, and personals written to boost the morale of the distant recipient.

• In that it has been over sixty years since these issues have been published, we are guessing there are many people that would like to browse the pages again...
