Listen Later

Audio introduction gives general background on "The Shadow" and introduces the track entitled "Firebug." For a recording that was made 85 years ago, it is well preserved. Goodrich Silvertown Tires is the sponsor, A set of 4 tires would have cost $56 in 1938, but that is a pretty significant amount considering the average annual salary was $1731. That amount of money...adjusting for inflation would now be $38,726.... an increase of 2,138.33%!. Those $56 tires would now cost a little over $1100.00.
Never mind the tires... enjoy the show! This track will be in "The Shadow" playlist.
