caption_attribution_description: Promotional photo of musician Bob Atcher. Atcher was part of many local (Chicago) and national radio and television programs. He was also the mayor of the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg, Illinois from 1959 to 1979. Atcher hosted some children's television programs in the late 1940s to early 1950s. The photo depicts him as the host of "Meadow Gold Ranch", which was named for its sponsor, an area dairy. The program aired on WENR-TV, which became WBKB-TV in 1953, and WLS-TV in 1968. The signature on the photo appears to be a facsimile and it seems to have been distributed to publicize the show's contest.
