A wireless, then a television, for so much a week. Rent a set to every house that cannot buy one outright.
A wireless set costs weeks of wages and breaks down often, so renting one by the week, repairs included, makes sense to most families. The rental firm buys the sets, carries the repairs and earns back the cost over a couple of years. Television multiplies the trade after the war, and every new service, from ITV to BBC2 to colour, sends customers back for a new set.
