Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

Chet and "Tuffy" were boys together in Mena, Arkansas, went to the University of Arkansas together, married nice girls from their own home town, and — since 1931 — have been doing their homespun version of Ozark Americana on the radio. Like all the other top liners on the air, they came to Hollywood when the radio industry The "Abner" family: Tuffy Goff, son Gary, daughter Gretchen, and Mrs. Goff. They all (including the Boxer) like to spend long, lazy hours in the patio's leafy shade. Fieldstone and chintz — and display room for their treasures — these spell home to the Goffs.
