Philco News was the in-house publication for Philco employees.  John Okolowicz has collected these and they are available to read on the Hagley Museum website.  There are issues from 1945 to 1962.  The earliest issue is from 1945 Vol. 3 No. 6 and has a story about a Philco tropic that was hidden by American soldiers in a Japanese prison camp from '42 until the end of the war.  Thanks John for saving these and making them available to read!
Cheers,
Bob
