We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Some mathematician, Bugs Bunny. In recent months the brash little star of Warner Bros. Cartoons increased the late-afternoon audience on krod-tv, El Paso, Texas, six -fold — jumping from a last-place 4.8 to a first-place 28.1 (ARB, May). Warner Bros'. Popeye the Sailor gets Texas-size ratings in El Paso, too, pulling a 26.2 ARB for May— nearly three times greater than the combined total of the two other stations. The El Paso story alone is conclusive proof of the drawing power of A. A. P. Cartoons ... a success story that is being duplicated from coast to coast. To see how Bugs Bunny, Popeye the Sailor and other Warner Bros. Cartoons can multiply audiences in your area, write or phone: a.a.
