Thursday November 17, 1921. Deliveries.


Life magazine, which was a humor magazine in the 1920s, put out its issue on this day.  The magazine always came out on odd days.  A humorous Norman Rockwell painting graced the cover, although being in the situation illustrated would not, in fact, be humorous to experience.

The youthful Pilgrim depicted had bagged a turkey in the illustration, of course, and on this day one was delivered to the Harding White House household.

The National Tuberculosis Association was engaged in a fund drive.


New Zealand's first radio broadcast was made on this day.  It was a musical selection broadcast by a university professor.
