Great post/catalogue. I have looked at part of it. Seems the radios are high in price then, bet they made the money for a year or two or more.
The first picture sure was loaded with gear.

If you do a google search, Henshaws is still in business at their original location. I still have a yellowed and well-worn 1974 Henshaw's catalog. They were the "Copper Electronics" of the 70's. Their prices were about average for the time. CB radios cost a heck of a lot more back then, before the advent of cheap Chinese labor and poor quality that we have today.

There was a Henshaw's CB in Fort Worth in the mid 70's. They were in a old grocery store on Belknap st. They had every model CB that they sold in the catalog on a shelf on the wall. The salesman would escort you to the radio you were interested in & switch the antenna to that set so you could give it a "test drive". The catalog was my wish book. I actually applied for a job there but I ended up at Shakey's Pizza as the manager when they called me to hire me. Great memories. Man that place was hopping in the 70's.
