While the necessities of war have put a stop to all that, who doesn't Remember with Floretta, the KHJ girl of a thousand memories for Los Angeles, Cal., listeners? Three times a week nostalgic music of the good old days is brought to KHJ listeners by Art Frost, authorized De Soto-Plymouth distributor, Glendale, Cal. Commercial hook to the musical line: automobile sales, both of new and used cars. Memory of things past is brought into crystal clear focus through the medium of old familiar music. Listeners are asked to contribute letters recounting memories that best loved songs bring back. Letters are read in part or in full, give credit where credit is due, namely, to the listener-contributor. Path down which most listeners tread is toward the golden days of childhood. While sponsor Art Frost took a oneyear radio vacation. Remember With Floretta was the first step in a campaign to keep 'em remembering.
