| ON THE AIR

Whether or not It is following
the classic. Injunction for reaching
mankind is not stated, but WRc
announces with much enthusiasm
today that its wave length will
have q regular terminus in the
market baskets OF its listeners from
now on, beginning this evening at
6:25. Once or twice we've an.
nounced that the stuff OF which
dinners are made would be given
a prominent place on the broadcast
sion something has happened tc
than one brief moment Of mikes
time.
So we're not stating with our
own authority that Anita HAWKING
win address the audience OF WRC
each Monday, Wednesday and Fri
day evening. But we are repeating
what Mr.. WRC has very enthusias
tically told US, and we sincerely
hope It is true.
We hope, also, that Mss Hawkins
will give US some mixing of the
prices that are being charged fol
things In the market. Most Of Us
know what we can get there, IL Il
can be gotten anywhere, but we
don't know whether or not 1t would
pay us to go all the way to Center
Market to buy 1t when there are sc
many weil-conducted shops in our
own neighborhood. So the matter
of prices, which Miss Hawkins left
out Of her previous talk, is rather
important to the average marketer

chain connections with the Roxy
program this evening. This is in
teresting because WJR has been
one OF the big broadcasting stations
OF the country which has hereto

that 1t has never been connected
with q chain hook-up.
