WATR BRINGING
 FAME TO CITY
BrOadcasting Station Big Asset in Advertising
 City's Opportunities
By CHARLES CUTLER (WATR AnnOuncer)

A modern American city is only as prosperous and influential as its best radio stationl With this thought in mind, the directors "f the wATR Company, operators of radio station WATR, have spared nothing in making it possible for Waterbury to have as its own full time radio station of power and prestige. WATR has always con- tented itself with the performance of one task, that of serving Water. bury and vicinity exclusively.
 Hartford's powerful 50,O00 watt broadcast outlet, WTIC, has during the past ten years brought fame and fortune to the capitol city. It has brought shoppers into Hartford from such varied points as New London, Bristol, Willimantic, Man. chester and yes, even Waterbury itself. WTIC has spread the name of Hartford throughout New Eng land and the United States with its own power and that of the network of the National Broadcasting Com pany. In one way, however, Water bury and other Connecticut cities have lost much because of the power of WTIC. Waterbury, like other cities in the Nutmeg state. has lost considerable trade from the towns around it and from within the city itself. Thousands of dollars weekly are spent by Waterburians in Hartford. Shoppers have been lured to Hartford by the powers of the radio and the convenience of that other twentieth century, the automobile.
 The new and greater WATR has a revitalizing job awaiting it. It must with its increased power and fulltime facilities spread the fame of Waterbury both as shopping and manufacturing center through out Connecticut, New England and the United States. With its own power WATR will ably cover Con- necticut and nearby states; and with the unlimited magic-lik assist dIlCc O1 CAAC SOlOl1AdA ASOWOAh oAAO the coast-to-coast network of the Mutual Broadcasting system, it will place the community name, Water bury, before millions who never be- fore realized that such a city ex- isted. As the Brass City of the World" a teeming, promising city with everything to offer, Waterbury deserves much. WATR will continue to give it much. WATR will convince those that live in and around Wa terbury that this city is a most de- sirable place to live, work, shop and play!
 If Waterbury proves as prosperous and influential as its best radio sta ton, it promises much in future years.

During the past five years sta ton WATR has earned for itself a we'll deserved reputation for complete and accurate reporting of local news events. A great deal of the credit for this achievement should go to three news reporters and commeptatoys now on the air regularly over WATR, Ray Fitzpatrick, Edward J. Ryan and John Cluney.
 When WATR was established in 1884, the voice of Ray Fitz- patrick became known up and down the Naugatuck valley as WATR's radio reporter. Currently he is gaining new laurels for him. self with his nightly review of the news at 6:45 in which the hap penings of the day are reported

these men, apparently died in pov- erty should be further evidence of their integrity and honesty. The Bechtler home stood on the present Rutherfordton- Marion highway, about four miles north of Ruther- fordton. It was here that the elder Bechtler did his work as mint master. During the years that the Bechtlers operated this mint there were no regulations or Federal laws against the minting of gold or silver but the coining of copper by in- dividuals or private concerns was prohibited. From 1881 to 184O it is estimated that the Bechtlers coined nearly two and a quarter million dollars worth of gold.
 Inasmuch as the Bechtlers were the first private coiners of real con- sequence in this country, their mint ing operations subsequently, proved a most important step in our future monetary situation. Being the first to strike private issues they really set up precedent for similar con- cerns of California at later date.
