Remember the RadioShack
"Flyer-Side Chat" Articles?
In 1948, Radio Shack was a retail, industrial and mail-order business with just one store in Boston. That year, a Marine Corps officer named Lewis Kornfeld signed on as advertising manager, beginning an odyssey that would add merchandising, manufacturing and management to his resume. While president of Radio Shack (1970-81), he fathered the world's first mass-marketed PC, the TRS-80.

Kornfeld always thought it was important to personally communicate with his (Radio Shack's) customers.  To accomplish this, in 1975 Kornfeld published an announcement called the President's Message that announced a series of articles he planned to write.  And from the late '70s to early '80s, Kornfeld wrote a column on the SIDE of the Radio Shack sales FLYER, appropriately called the "Flyer-Side Chat".  Within this column, Kornfeld talked about a wide range of topics. Was this the analog version of blogging? Whatever you want to call it, it was nice that Kornfeld, a man who was running the company, took the time to bridge the gap between the corporate office, and communicate directly with the customer.
