Exercises with piano accompaniment are conducted by Walter Eberhardt, physical director of St. Louis L'niversity. Merchandising tie-in: Valley Farm offers an exercise chart. Three 40-second commercials are directed to women. Presented in an easy, natural style, they extoll the merits of Valley Farm products and service. Previous radio activities of Valley Farm were limited to spot announcements. Very pleased with results from Mother's Health Class is Valley Farm executive Joseph Winkler. Evidence that he means it: 90 per cent of the Valley Farm advertising budget goes to radio. Only other Valley Farm advertising is an ad in weekly neighborhood papers.
