Found photo details electronics shopping in the late 1800s
Eager consumers gather for the midnight release of a new product called "the light bulb."
Cleverpork Central is proud to bring you a recently discovered photo of retail giant Best Buy's predecessor: Supreme Purchase.
According to documents attached to the photo, the oft-forgotten chain primarily sold telegraphs -- strange metal machines that allowed the transmission of what we might today call "text messages." Cell phone towers had terrible coverage back then, because they simply didn't exist.
