It was in early 1955, my brother and I went to the downtown Milwaukee Boston Store to see color TV. It was Saturday morning and there was nothing on in color at the time. The set was a 19" Motorola, where the B/W picture was rather green and the purity wasn't that great. All the B/W sets, that were on at the time, the picture was so much better.
