test housewives in Youngstown.
She lives on Blank Street etc. -
Naturally the street named was
right along his route. Every house
wife listening in would think it was
herself.
The next time he came down that
street, every woman would be out
on her front porch waiting for him,
Hello Jack. Heard you on the air
yesterday. Thanks for the song"
they'd say. His tea and coffee sales
went up in leaps and bounds.
He was such a success at the bust
ness that his company offered him
full supervision of all the routes in
Youngstown. But at this point Jack
lost interest in tea and coffee. He
gave up his selling job and got a
paying job as an announcer in West
Cleveland. Today, he has risen to
nationwide popularity as a singing
me. The Three Suns trio assist him
daily on his new informal "Jack

Berch Had Unique Introduction To Radio

When smilin' Jack Berch gets be-
fore mike to sing song to the
American housewife, it seems just
like old times For Jacks radio
debut was made when he was a
salesman on tea and coffee route,
singing songs over the air to help his
sales along. He is now heard in the
new Jack Berch Show" Monday
through Friday, lis to 100 p. m.
Back in his early days his coffee
route was in Youngstown, Ohio.
When he first took it over, it was the
hardest route in town. Jack didn't
put his foot in the door and beg for
sales. He conceived better idea.
He'd sung little in the college glee
club, so he went around to the local
radio station and got weekly spot
on the air, singing songs for nothing.
His scheme was this. Before. every
song, he'd make little speech,
Hello Folks. Today I'm going to
sing little song to one of the pref
