The war bonds Breakfast Club sold ($7 million), the crowds it drew (65,000 with 200,000 turned away), and the stunts pulled on a tw'o-week Eastern tour made radio history. In Radio City the audiences were five times greater than any other daytime broadcast. In Richmond a woman offered $50 for a Breakfast Club ticket, but there were no takers. The 12th anniversary show from Sheboygan sold $621,250 more in 7th War Loan Bonds. Earlier, Don signed a new five-year con¬ tract. In September, Philco Corporation became sponsors of the fourth quarter hour. Oct. 27 marked the last Saturday broadcast as the show went on a five-day-a-week schedule.
