Success Story with a Southern Accent 'TpHOSE delicious FFV Cookies that have taken Phila■*■ delphia by storm are made by Southern Biscuit Company, of Richmond, Virginia. To get distribution in this area, Southern Biscuit appointed Walter A. Bonvie distributor; and he did a whale of a job. To move cookies off the shelves fast— Southern Biscuit bought a broad-base TV advertising program for children in this entire section. The program: "Cartoon Party" — a 15-minute drawing-andstory show starring Pauline Comanor at 1 1 AM each Saturday. The medium: WPTZ, of course — Philadelphia's food station. The results— well, read from Mr. Bonvie's letter: "This is the only advertising we are using in this marketIt has more than justified our belief that the right show and the right station-CARTOON PARTY on WPTZwould do the job for us in Philadelphia. Sales of FFV Cookies have increased over thirty-three percent during the first month of our sponsoring this program. The second month's figures indicate that this increase will go even higher. WPTZ has really done a job for us!" To discuss what WPTZ might do for your product, phone us at LOcust 4-5500, or call your nearest NBC Spot Sales representative.
