that the Great Northern Railway weht about the problem of reproducing train sounds which, while not entirely authen- tic, would seem fully as real as hearing the train itself. Experiments along these lines were be- gun while the program was being broad- cast from New York last year. A crude circular device with parallel rails, and three rail joints, was constructed to sim- ulate the clickety-click-click of the rails. A set of wheels were operated over this circular track to produce this effect. The rumble of the train was produced by a couple of wooden wheels mounted on a four-foot turntable which had a wooden base. Long wire brushes were made and used on a tympanum and snare drums were used to reproduce the "chugging" of a locomotive. A Great Northern locomotive bell was sent to New York. A wooden whistle and a tank of com- pressed air completed the outfit.

From a Radio Interview about and

with G. W. Hill in the Columbia

Fortune Builders Series

2)j/ Douglas Gilbert

is Douglas Gilbert, generating to you to- THISnight the voltage of George W. Hill, dynamic president of the American Tobacco Company; third-rail power of his industry—the lighted end—of Lucky Strikes. Mr. Hill is here beside me. He will clinch for you, in this mike-to-mike manner, some of the points I shall make at the close of my talk. Last year George Hill earned for his company $43,- 294,000, and distributed to his common stockholders $29,293,000 in dividends. These are figures unequalled in the tobacco trade. The whole tobacco trust, dissolved in 1911 in the trust-busting days of Teddy Roosevelt, never approached them. This money is the financial Phoenix arising from the ashes of six billion two hundred- nineteen million cigarettes sold by one man—Hill—and smoked by 30,000,000 customers. A record is supposed to speak for itself. It does. But in Hill's case it has to be, it ought to be, translated, interpreted. Such earning power must be deserved. There's more to Hill than dollars and cents. High-spot, red-hot, head-line Hill, sloganeer of cigarettes, means something. Stands for something. Is a symbol of some kind or other. Let's try to smoke him out from under that battered Borsalino he wears so rakishly. We'll turn off the switch that makes him revolute. For fif- teen minutes Hill's going to be powerless, while we chuck away our rubber gloves and dismantle, bare- handed, this human dynamo to find the spark of his success. That spark glows for a psychological reason. For Hill is a business bundle of suppressed desires. Grad- uating from Williams College he came to the American Tobacco Co. in 1904, serving under his father, the late Percival S. Hill, then president of the company. He was curbed by two handicaps at once. He was a rich man's son—and the son of the presi- dent; tie-ups at which the rank and file of any company bristle. Moreover, he was the son of his father, a company baron of the old commercial school. When George offered a suggestion he was piped down by the parent quickly. George was given to understand at the start that he was there to learn—not to suggest. He started learning; and kept his suggestions to himself for future reference. As a matter of fact he did pretty well, since his first major activity was the promotion of Pall Mall cigarettes, a swanky and expensive smoke in the old days you old timers like to remember. He put them over as a swanky cigarette with his first slogan—"a shilling in Lon- don, a quarter here". Not so hot as Douglas Gilbert, who conducts "reach for a Lucky", but it got over his the Fortune Hunter series idea—the suggestion of the Savage Club; Apple Man 17

brought out. Mr. Bagley, therefore, en- deavors to ignite the spark of personal pride in such people by pointing out to them their latent abilities. Mr. Bagley tries to appeal to every sort and condition of person. As a result, he receives all kinds of letters. Some thank him for what he has done for them in showing them the way to rugged, glowing health. Others, unattached and lonely women, pour out their hearts and troubles to him, feeling that they know him and he knows them as a result of the daily class meetings.

Still others complain, because, as Mr. Bagley says, "you can't please everybody." Some people write in to tell him that he talks too fast when giving instructions. Others tell him he is much too slow. Some people complain that he nags them, while others say he is too easy with them. Some suggest that the exercises are too strenu- ous to be followed entirely, while others demand that he give them something hard tc do. Like a good pilot, Mr. Bagley tries tc steer a middle course and please the average person.

M,-R. BAGLEY usually finds time to give a few words of advice to his classes about the food they should eat. "For," he says, "if people abuse their stomachs, no amount of exercise is going to do them any good. The two things, exercise and diet, go hand-in-hand to pro- duce the perfect human specimen." "Rrrrip! There go pa's pajamas!" Arthur Q. Bagley starts the whole family off on their morning pursuit of health via the exerciM route People often write to him, asking indi- vidual health advice.

WHAT with all the sage advice to mariners and boating enthusiasts which issues forth from Salty Allen in his Daily Boatman's Column at New York's WOV, you'd expect to see a gray-bearded old tar behind the mike. But Salty is just a young fellow in his early twenties, who's seen a lot of this world for his age. He's traveled both by land and sea and met many celebrities whose common bond of interest with him is

a desire to win outboard-motor races. . The German submarine commander, Count Felix Von Luckner, is one of his co-hobby- ists, and Salty has spun one or two yarns about the Count on his daily noontime program. Some day when he has time and typewriters are built into cruisers he expects to write the "great American novel".

IT looked like a catastrophe for Rose Gallo, but it turned out to be her greatest blessing. Rose was an organist at the Alhambra Theatre in Philadelphia, when along came the vita- phone and forced her out of a job. Then somebody told her her voice would take kindly to the mike. She tried it with great success. Now she is heard daily over WELK and WPEN.

THE AIRLINE TO THE NEW YORK MARKET

Twelve million people live within the trading area of New York. Nowhere else in the world is there a greater concentration of buying power. The yearly consumption of luxuries and necessi- ties of these New Yorkers reaches a staggering total.

New York is the world's richest, most compact market for every kind of product and service that human ingenuity can devise. The New York market alone has made millionaires of men. Because of its size—the many-sided angles of its life—the cosmopolitan character of its popula- tion—some advertisers believe that the New York market is difficult to sell successfully. But radio broadcasting through WMCA has shattered this prejudice; has proven, through actual results for a varied clientele of advertisers, that New York is now one of the easiest markets in the world in which to gain a firm foothold.
