Description:
The official magazine of Kansas City's WHB radio station, SWING printed far more than the station's schedule (which, as the title SWING suggested, relied heavily on music). From 1945 to 1953, SWING offered readers something eclectic every month -- profiles of entertainers on one page, discussions of citizenship in the postwar world on the next, with write-ups of nightlife offerings in KC, Chicago, and New York mixed in. WHB spent decades lobbying the FCC for clear channel status; the magazine's ambitious scope may have been part of the station's attempt to legitimate itself. But it was SWING'S first editor, Jetta Carleton, who later wrote a celebrated novel, that gave the magazine its distinctive style. -- Eric Hoyt, 2015

. , presenting R. B. CALDWELL ^vuin^ nominee ^or MAN OF THE MONTH by MORI GREINER WITH the approach of the hoH' day season each winter, money becomes an increasingly desirable commodity. The average individual swears on a sprig of mistletoe that next year things will be different, as — for what he is sure is the last time — ^he hurries to the savings window of his bank for Christmas cash. Bankers smile at this recurring phenomenon and go, in turn, to i}\c\r bank. Top man on this complicated financial totem pole in the Tenth Federal Reserve District is Robert Breckenridge Caldwell, chairman of the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. As fiscal agent of the nation's second largest Federal Reserve District, the long-titled Mr. Caldwell regulates the flow of currency in Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, and parts of New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Missouri. He has his finger on the economic pulse of the entire area, and finds the increased tempo of money transactions each November and December to be a sure symptom of another merry Christmas for the business world. Strangely enough, this banker's banker is primarily an attorney. As senior partner of the large law firm of Caldwell, Downing, Noble and Garrity, he is well-known for his trial work and his special ability in the field of corporation affairs. He serves as a director and as general counsel of Gustin-Bacon Manufacturing Company, C. J. Patterson Company, and Standard Steel Works. He is chairman of the board of directors and general counsel of Cook Paint Varnish Company. In addition, Mr. Caldwell acts as general counsel of the Mehornay Furniture Company, Macy's of Kansas City, Black 6?" Veatch, Long Construction Company, Western Auto Supply Company, Fred Wolferman, Incorporated, and many other manufacturing, business, and insurance firms.
