BEAVER AWARDS 3 EDMONTON AND CALGARY HEARINGS 8 WHO'S WHO IN RADIO AND TV 16 Page Two Canadian Broadcaster May 5th, 1960 BE HAPPY! GO LOCAL! When a local Radio station announcer's voice reaches his listeners as they tune in his programs - news, chatter, music, - day after day, year after year, it's the voice of an old friend. They see him in church, at the movies and at social affairs. Some of them went to school with him. Others remember his erstwhile predilection for their cookie jars. And when he tells them about your products, it isn't a high-pressure "pitch". It's just the voice of a friend, offering advice to his neighbors on what and where to buy. So when you advertise, go Radio; and when you go Radio go local. Zadia Dcucaiatt SUITE 404 200 ST. CLAIR AVE.
