Really neat motel sign in the desert!

I've collected some motel postcards that mention television, especially ones from the years when color TV was a noteworthy feature. I have one that says "Color TV in the common room" and one that says "color TV on request". Also, one for a large chicago downtown hotel (can't remember which right now) bragging "color TV in every room".

IIRC, I also have one that bragged how many stations they had (was it 3 or 4?).
Along the way, I have picked up a few unrelated postcards, like the large hotel in the early 20th century that bragged about having 1000 rooms and 800 baths, and a motel in New Jersey that bragged loudly "NO MOSQUITOES."

Hotels and hotel furniture companies are going through a revolution today as flat screens are becoming the latest thing. The entertainment armoire is being phased out in favor of low furniture that can sit below the plasma or LCD that is mounted to the wall.
