The Record Business is a PROFIT Business WHEN YOU SELL VICTOR and BLUEBIRD RECORDS! VICTOR BROUGHT RECORDS BACK-AND THEY'RE BACK TO STAY! Back ia 1932 the record business was virtually "dead." Nearly everyone in the business had given up on records, but RCA Victor felt that the record market of the future was potentially greater than the record market of the early 1920's. So RCA Victor instituted an advertising and publicity campaign in newspapers, magazines —and on the radio — to revive the record market. The Victor Record Society was organized. What has happened is now history. The record business today is tremeadously ahead of the record business in 1933 —promises to grow even greater in the years to come. • • • RCA presents the Magic Key Sundays, 3to}P.M.,E.S.T., on the NBC Blue Network, THE WORLD'S GREATEST ARTISTS ARE ON VICTOR AND BLUEBIRD RECORDS!
