Housing Problem Solved This cat had too many kittens to care for in her regular home. So she found a big knot-hole up a tree and moved her family in — a neat solution to her problem. There's a neat solution to any advertising problem in the rich market of Baltimore. You just buy W-I-T-H. the big independent with the big audience. Costs so little! Does so much! Those are the two big facts in the W-I-T-H story. Because W-I-T-H delivers more home listeners per dollar than any ether station in town. In addition to this biggest home audience, a recent survey made under the supervision of the Johns Hopkins University showed that of all radios playing in taverns, 67.3*% were tuned to W-l-T-H! Call in your Headley-Reed man today and get him to tell you all about W-I-T-H. Baltimore 3, Maryland TOM TIHSIJY, President R«pr«»ent«d by Heodley-Re»d
