Betrayal

.

When I saw this Sears house ad from 1916, the first thing I thought of was: betrayal.  Mainly from the story that Jean Shepherd told both in Phantom of the Open Hearth (it starts about 13 minutes into the show):

and on his other PBS show, Jean Shepherd's America:

Apparently he didn't tell the story on the radio (or at least no audio recording has survived).

Poor Zudock.
