We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

A copywriter is questioning a WMAL-TV executive. STEPPED UP CAMPAIGN Copywriter: "You say that station C was 27 steps (their steps) ahead of us when we began pursuit." Exec: "That's right." "And they take eight steps to our five." "True." "Then how on earth did we catch them?" "Bigger steps.* Two of our steps equal five of 'CY. Your experience with those puzzle ads should enable you to compute exactly how many steps we took to catch them. In fact, you might be able to make an ad from this." Our copywriter produces the correct mathematical solution. Duplicate his feat and win a copy of Dudeney's "Amusements in Mathematics" — Dover Publications, Inc., N. Y. Repeat winners will receive an unrepealed prize. * First-rate local personalities, first-run movies, ABC programing and a number of other big WMAL-TV steps that an H-R representative will be happy to discuss. wmel-tv Washington, D.
