The one I have is a blue cover, and is probably the 1945 because it
talks about this being a "Convention in print" as a replacement for
wartime restricted travel.

The magazine itself is a wealth of information.  They have a bound set
at R&H.  For my ARSC presentation I was hoping that they might have been
around in the 1930s, but they started publishing in 1943.  I got some
store display photos from the 30s from Radio & Television Retailing,
another great journal.
