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

198 SUCCESS IN LIFE Apnl, mi by Peter Murgaski All of us have been a success in life. It slips our minds just who we are. Can you help us to remember? You shouldn't have too much trouble with at least 16 of us. 1. I invented dynamite for the benefit of mankind. My magic touch turned everything into gold. . I was an Ace during World War I, and was lost on a raft in World War II. . My business was bringing back live animals from the jungles I'm pretty much of a success at keeping crooks in line. . I was known as the Iron Man of baseball. . Fame and fortune came to me through my dancing feet. . My wizard'like touch in electricity brought light to the world. I was a cabinet maker and built the first railroad sleeping cars in 1858. I first worked in Chicago for $400 a year, but became the owner of the world's largest department store. . I came to Chicago in 1875, and became the world's meat provisioner. I came from St. Louis, settled in Chicago and developed the first great mail order house which still bears my name. A "G" string made me famous, and later on I began writing books. I have become the world's No. 1 "RED." At one time I was a shorthand champ, but took up show business for a living — and I also write a daily column for the newspapers. George Washington forced me to surrender at Yorktown during the days of the Revolution. During the days of World War II, I was given command of the soldiers known as the Commandos. I was the only four'footed lactress that really knew how to sell milk for the Borden Milk Company. In 1926, I was the first American woman to swim the EngUsh Channel. On the billiard tables I have been considered champ of them all. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. II. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.
