   When was this supposed to have happened?  In the June 1, 1947
Electrical Merchandising I found a two-page Westinghouse spread that
shows a number of their upcoming ads, including one for refrigerators.
No mention of radios in that ad, except as another item in the
Westinghouse line.

   It seems unlikely, given that civilian appliance production had
just resumed, and no extra incentive was needed to get people to buy
them.
