A city is vibrant. A city grows. But the heart of a city never changes. At WCAU, we're proud of our Philadelphia tradition and this month, our 35th Anniversary, we are honoring all the yesterdays that have served us so well. Some of us can still see the long parade of personalities associated with WCAU. Al Jolson sang his first song on radio over WCAU, Fred Allen made his first radio appearance with us. Paul Douglas, Ezra Stone, Boake Carter, Henry Morgan, Wilbur Evans, all began bright careers at WCAU. Yes, we have grown since we were issued our first broadcast license in 1922. And our 50,000 watts aren't the real measure of growth. It's the long list of public service awards — the confidence of advertisers that helped make 1956 the greatest in our history. But, most of all, it's the acceptance we enjoy in the 2 million homes in 47 counties to which each day we bring news, information and entertainment. w c □ IT Philadelphia RADIO The Philadelphia Bulletin Radio Station.
