"WITH THE COMPLIMENTS
of WHO.
MA'AM!
n
Yes — that headline is misleading. Rather than giving premiums or prizes here at WHO, we are building tremendous good-will by helping various community organizations throughout Iowa to get some of the things they want. New dishes for the P.T.A. Uniforms for the High School Band. Christmas toys for various childwelfare groups. Etc., etc., etc.!
For instance, we quote from the Britt, Iowa NetvsTribune of March 5, 1952 :
"It is evidently worth something to fill WHO talent performers with a good duck dinner to get the best results in entertainment. Mrs. O. W. Friedow took the personnel of the WHO Talent Show to her country home and served them a fine duck dinner Thursday evening just before their appearance at the school auditorium in a show sponsored by the Congregational Workers Guild. At the auditorium, a stream of folks moved into the lobby and 'crashed' the doors as early comers. By 7:15 the main auditorium was filled and the bleachers offered the next-best 'roost', after which chairs were carried in to take care of the overflow. About 700 people were seated. The various songs and farces followed one after another without any intermission. The crowd was kept in an uproar of laughter for two hours. The Workers Guild was well pleased with both entertainment and receipts."
Just a local news item — but full of the stuff that makes loyal and friendly listeners for WHO — responsive listeners for WHO advertisers.
WHO shows are produced in Iowa communities under auspices of local non-profit organizations. This has been going on for years. WHO has helped hundreds of community groups to raise money for local needs, with the result that literally tens of thousands of families have become our personal friends.
Is it any wonder that WHO is listened-to regularly by 69.4% (daytime) of all radio families in Iowa? For the complete, amazing story, contact WHO or Free & Peters !
