heavily on previous experience in time buying and on the faith we have in the management of the radio station. There have been few occasions where a station has done a poor job on a good campaign, if the management that we deal with at the station level is sound. Therefore, we suggest that advertisers apply this recipe: Use all five services, add a generous portion of intelligent interpretation of statistics, spice with agency judgment and experience. Result: better than average successful radio schedules. W. D.

This Kasco Dog Food set is typical of the adaptable sets designed and executed for rapid erection and knockdowns. A crew of trained men strategically arrange props to the client's best advantage. Each set is quickly placed due to the fine filing and cataloguing system used for props, making them easily accessible at all times. A floor manager works with the property-stage department for each locally produced show, serving as liaison for production. 95% of all props and sets used on WBNS-TV are designed, built and erected on the premises by skilled men. Existing sets are repaired, and maintained, properties stored and filed in a modern, well equipped shop, and a shuttle messenger service operated between the prop storage areas within the station and outside warehouses. Under the over-all direction of Department Manager Robert Sweinsberger, and his staff of nine men, the myriad of articles required for TV Commercials are checked out prior to each show and are promptly filed in their proper place after each telecast. Such items vary widely from a tiny V* teaspoon measurer for a kitchen show, to a huge 8V2' x 9' x 5' awning for a commercial. Incoming bulk items are received, inspected and stored and a card file inventory maintained. wbns-tv COLUMBUS, OHIO CHANNEL 10 CBS-TV NETWORK • Affiliated with Columbus Dispatch and WBNS-AM • General Sales Office: 33 North High Street REPRESENTED BY BLAIR TV 11 AUGUST 1952 125
