ADVERTISERS & AGENCIES CONTINUED
ROOM TO BREATHE
WOLF assures advertisers adequate room for their commercials to breathe. We believe that the growing practice of double, triple and quadruple spotting is a threat to radio's future progress. Adequate separation is not a new policy with WOLF. It is as old as the station itself; a proven sales formula that has brought in consistent renewals through the years from pleased clients— top national advertisers. It builds greater sales through greater impact.
We never had it so good — why spoil it.

CBS-TV's The $64,000 Question on WTVJ (TV). Last summer network commercials for the new Sun Oil were placed on The $64,000 Question along with the announcements for Silicare.
With roughly 25% of the agency's projected $13 million billing for the fiscal year 1958 in broadcast media, remaining radiotv users include Cott Beverage Co. (including the recently acquired Mission of California Co.), billing $200,000 of the $600,000 budget in spot radio and tv in 25 radio markets and 10 tv markets; Albert Ehlers Inc. (coffee), currently out of broadcasting but expected to return shortly with its total $400,000 budget in radio-tv, and David Kahn Inc. ( Wearever pens and pencils) spending onethird of its $300,000 budget in cooperative drugstore spot pushes.
DR&J has come a long way in radio-tv since July 1, 1950, when the agency was formed by John C. Dowd, president of the Boston agency bearing his name, LeGrand Redfield, formerly with Picard, Marvin & Redfield, now a vice president of Wesley Assoc.. and Ed Johnstone.
Still to make their entry felt in broadcast media are the following Revlon products newly assigned to DR&J: Thin Down, a reducing agent; a new face makeup named Sponge Cake; an eye drop preparation known as Eye Fresh, and "Hair Spray No. 4," the last still a working name.
