(A bushel of the delicious fruit was awarded a listener every half hour.) A saturation campaign of announcements ten days previous to Michigan Peach Day produced this crop of participants in what has become an annual affair for the Michigan Peach Growers Association. THE MAIL CAME FROM Thirty-four (34) states, Washington. D.C. and Canada! However the bulk— over 90^— came from the Tri-State Area of Indiana, Ohio and ^Michigan where WOWO's "regular" audience lives and listens. THERE'S A PEACH OF A PACKAGE FOR YOU, TOO An alert time buyer cannot pass up the fact that results like this prove the constancy of radio, and its ability to produce audience action. WOWO weather jingles, WOWO time signals, the 6-13-21 plans all offer a "peach of a deal" for the client who wants a good crop of returns.
