"MEET THE M. M. TYREES" The M. M. Tyree's are typical American farm people who live on their well-kept farm of 1 00 acres at Cox Landing, near Huntington, West Virginia. Mr. Tyree raises all his own feed for a fine herd of 33 Jersey cows of which he is justly proud. The Tyree family speaks for thousands of other farm families in the same locality, when they say: "WLW is vital to our interest. Dairying. Every morning, we turn the radio on at 6:30, without fail, to hear the Nation's Station Market Summaries, agricultural programs, and of course, the News." Four of the six children live at home. Every member has completed his 4-H Club Training except Bill, who is engaged in 4-H Club work at Marshall College. Mrs. Tyree, a progressive farm woman, takes a great interest in WLW's "Consumer's Foundation." ABOVE: Seated on their spacious porch, the Tyrees, are left to right: Mr. Tyree, Bill, Helen, Mrs. Tyree, Thelma, Dennis and Jack. Mr. Tyree praises WLW's "Everybody's Farm Hour" and the Cadle Tabernacle program. LEFT: Meet Dad Tyree's "righthand" man . . . son Dennis. His hobby, dogs. His listening habits, farm programs that appeal to his special interest, Dairying. CIRCLE: Bill and his Jersey pal, "Buttercup Daisy," a 4-H Club project. Likes the hilarious excitement and fun of WLW's "Boone County Jamboree." REPRESENTATIVES: New York — Transamerican Broadcasting & Television Corp. Chicago — WLW, 230 N. Michigan Avenue.
