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.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

COLOSSUS OF THE CAROLINAS This potent plus WBT's biggest plus — your biggest selling opportunity — is a plus of people. There are around 2,500,000 of them in WBT's daytime basic service area. And 98% of them possess one or more radios. This works out to a plus of 22.4% over those who take any daily newspaper and a plus of 41.5% over those who own a TV set. Now, in 1955, more of these people are listening to their radios than in 1954. In Charlotte, 49% of the listening, on the average, is to WBT— and WBT beats 31 outside local stations in their own home county. These are patent and potent plusses for the adveitiser who seeks a mass market. WBT has other exclusive plusses, too — such as Grady Cole, HPL and Supermarketing. Your CBS Radio spot salesman will ply you with WBT plusses — a call will tell him you're open-minded.
