thanks to koin-tv. And his stock soared. Let agencyman W. J. Mackay of Miller, Mackay, Hoeck and Hartung tell you the real-life success story of Bar-S Holiday Ham, a luxury item in search of a market. "*Bar-S was virtually unknown in the Portland, Oregon market, and had major competition to overcome. We tried various advertising approaches, but none succeeded, until we turned to television, on koin-tv. Then, the consumer demand was so marked — and so immediate — that Bar-S was able to increase its distribution widely, not only in Portland but throughout the entire valley area. As a result, Bar-S enjoyed a healthy 60 ' < sales increase in 1956 over 1955... all the more impressive when you consider that it was accomplished in a period of slightly over six months!" Unusual? Not at all. Bar-S Holiday Ham is no different from the hundreds of other products and services, large and small, which expand their markets and create new markets by using one or more of the 1 3 television stations ( and the regional network ) represented by CBS Television Spot Sales.
