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

YOU'RE IN THE 70-84 GROUP. This is a good average, and you can do well in the selling profession. YOU'RE BELOW 70. Chances are. salesmanship isn't your long suit. This doesn't mean you have no possibilities of success. Realizing that your personality isn't the most favorable type, (for purposes of salesmanship) may be an asset. You can't "high pressure", so work hard on technique. Studies show that the biggest annual sales records are made by men who (a) give the prospect most sound lalei arguments; (b) show prospect more item*.
