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.

WOX! Over the years, "Uncle Dick" Slack, St. Louis furniture tycoon, has seen some sweeping changes in the styling of the furniture he sells — but none in the advertising he buys to sell it. Today, as he has for more than two decades, Uncle Dick relies most on 50,000-watt radio station KMOX. It began 20-odd years ago when he found himself competing with three other furniture dealers on the same block. That got his dander up and brought him to kmox. At the time, Uncle Dick was short on budget, so kmox fixed him up with a low-cost schedule of two-a-day announcements. And in no time at all, Uncle Dick's business was booming. It continued to boom, year after year. Today — after more than 1,000 consecutive weeks on kmox — Uncle Dick's radio schedule has increased to 14 quarter-hours per week, all on kmox. And his furniture business has expanded to three giant stores and four huge warehouses. At this moment, Uncle Dick is sitting pretty, secure in the knowledge that kmox consistently reaches more of his prospects than any other St. Louis advertising medium! If, like Uncle Dick, you'd like to turn the tables on your competition, call us or CBS Radio Spot Sales. We'll furnish you with a success story of your own.
