But unlike the gnu, you can make 1958 an especially happy year by putting your sales message on WBNS Radio. There you can speak "people talk" to $3,034,624,000.00. You're sure of lots of listeners on the hoof. That's because WBNS Radio is first according to Pulse in 315 out of 360 quarter hours, Monday through Friday, 6 A.M. to midnight. Ask John Blair.
