Wing, who entered the field of children's
entertainment by telling bedtime stories to
his own moppets, is now luminary IN post
war boom industry - the making Of chill

and screen to put the classic stories of child

Wing is head of the rapidly growing chill

ago, couldn't find space in closet for such
platters. All other major companies have had
an equal expansion of their kids corner, and
independent outfits are popping up every day.

Stage and screen stars are being given the
rush for two reasons: Their names help sell
discs and they create characters in which a
child can believe When a voice says it is a

it literally. So it has to sound like one.

Offices and other quarters owned or

The shortage of Office space is
critical in most metropolitan areas
