Sponsored by your local druggist, this 44 minute clip contains local druggist ads, including lesser known over the counter remedies like sleep-eze and tol acne and newsreader Gabrielle Heater does some plugs for sleep-eze. There are a couple songs also. The show opens with a high voiced song about the Bob and Ray show. Bob and Ray discuss thanksgiving menus. There is an episode of Squad Car 119, a dragnet style police show with Sam Finch and Ralph Arkruger. Wally Ballou interviews a house wife driver at the 200 mile hot rod derby. There is an installment of The Gathering Dust soap opera. The show itself ends with Bob pretending to be Gabrielle Heater. There is then, a story from Hope Inc. in which Colonel D.E.

WHDH, NBC, AFRTS, Mutual (Your Druggist), CBS, Graybar Advertising (their company), WINS, WOR, PBS. That's all the broadcasting I can think of, —mostly in sequence. Not sure if their AFRTS was pro bono publico or not. AFRTS was certainly a non-commercial. They started at NBC in later 1951, but they did not stay longer than a couple years. CBS started c. 1959 and remains my favourite. However, the soap opera, "Mary Backstayge, Noble Wife", episodes done at WOR are quite special. I'm a little hazy about WINS as there is so few sound recordings remaining. Alas, I suspect they truly loved radio. —By thumbs we hang…
