I What makes a great salesman? In the smoke filled ballroom of the plush Waldorf Astoria, after 33 days of head to head play, Ely Culbertson won his final bid and the match to decide the number one bridge player in America. This Romanian born card player, whose mother was the daughter of a Cossack Chief and whose father was an American oil man, inventor of the Culbertson System made ten million American families contract-bridge happy and in the process, made himself a millionaire. With delibera-te planning, psychological methods and a theatrical personality, Ely Culbertson sold contract-bridge through books, syndicated newspaper columns and radio shows. He traveled thousands of miles visiting bridge clubs and playing exhibition matches in his personalized approach to selling the Culbertson system. He founded an empire on a pack of cards and with his personal vitality, sold the world on contract-bridge. Culbertson proudly admitted to psychological methods in selling and enjoyed greatly the theatrical personality he built to do it. The Storer stations are personal and dramatic, too. They have community vitality and excitement. Their responsible programming-keyed to specific community preferences turns more listeners and viewers into buyers. In New York, Storer's great salesman is WHN, an important station in an important market.
