| The board Of trade at Old Or
| chard is making an effort to have
broadcastipg station located on
the Old Orchard pier for the pur-
pose of advertising the resort
These plans have been underway
| for the past few weeks and some
thing definite in connection with
the matter may be announced in a
short time. An effort is being made
to interest the pier management
in the idea. The Old Orchard sta
ton would be a sub station to VIC
SH at Portland. Old Orchard busi-
ness men feel that such a station
would open up a fertile field for the
advertising Of the resort. They
point out that one Of the features
of the broadcast programmes from
the station could be attained by
| broadcasting the noise of the surf
at the resort as a regular evening
feature. The music from the pier
| orchestra and the special features
at the casino would also be avail
able, with special numbers which
could be secured for the summer
months. The attractions of the
resort could be put on the air by
capable speakers during certain pc
RODS each night so that the resort
could be advertised throughout the
country and Canada at very little
expense.
