Mister Plus, our foot-loose mascot, has often scaled high places to explore the towering advantages of network radio. Especially Mutuars. He now plunges into the question of cost-per-thousand pcffottruiticc and takes some ; doeprsea soundings which sound just fine. Vety especially Mutuars. On the over-all record for ’53 (as logged by Nielsen, jan.-Nov., that is), the average cost-per-thousand of all evening commercials on all radio networks is low ... deep-down proof of the economy which no other medium can match. And which network hits bottom, in this year-round, low-man tourney? Well, the diver on the right is Mister Plus, with a score for Mutual that is 19% lower than the average for the other three networks, and 12% to 24% lower than any one of them!
