<SNIP> 1944 2,500 women trample guards & floorwalkers to purchase 1,500
alarm
clocks announced for sale in a Chicago Illinois dept store <SNIP>

What was the attraction? I can't imagine that these were the FIRST alarm
clocks. My wife is from Chicago so I realize that this kind of "shopping
frenzy" is NORMAL for Chicago, but what was so special about these clocks?
