I get emails from the mag and they have started to put early issues into an archive with the Cincinnatti public library.   it's facinating to look at the old copies, especially the ads for the various products.   EG sign lights with a hooded reflector don't seem to have changed much in design since the 1920's.    I've put a link to the archive below.  i hope they keep doing this because i'd love to see issues from the 1960's/70's when i first started helping my Dad.

Even the first issue had a section for electrical signs.     i just find the ads facinating with all the different type faces.   OK, so I'm a font nerd!

 I haven't had a chance to check out yet, but I'm sure as soon as I do I'mm spending some amount of time in fascination
