By the early 20th century, the ready-to-wear clothing industry could turn out generally good and stylish clothing for men, women, and children at affordable prices. Clothing became more available and affordable to greater numbers of people.

This 1937 Sparton radio was designed by Walter Dorwin Teague, a designer renowned for his use of streamlined forms. A study in contrasts -- the blue mirrored finish and curved sled-like base suggest speed while the five jutting parallel panels appear almost architectural -- this expensive and glamorous radio had a limited market during the Great Depression.
