The caption reads:
Rich Palmer ran the nation's largest volume hobby shop in Parsippany, New Jersey. Aurora hired him to organize its Monster Customizing Contest in 1964. Aurora received national television attention when the CBS Evening News visited his shop. Walter Cronkite and Palmer held a conversation in the "Monster Korner" of the store. Big Frankie occupies the top shelf in the Monster Korner.

You gotta love the title of this magazine. I'm guessing It was started by three friends with very different interests. They later split up the publication with each starting their own magazine: Cigar Aficionado, Playboy, and Radio Craft respectively. That third friend doesn't speak with the others anymore.

Um. Dude. Turn around!
