That's quick thinking, Bob. Because what your Blair man is there for. To help time buyers do a better job. Sure, we're the leading station repre- sentative company. And sure, the stations we represent are tops in market after market. But we're not about to sit around on our laurels. We provide every useful service and practical tool we can think of. And most of them are designed for the buyer's use. That's not to say we don't have strong relationships with agency and advertiser managements. We do. But we know very well who does the actual buying. And we're out to give him every bit of help we can. So when Bob Stone, buyer over at Foote, Cone, & Belding, wanted information, he called his Blair man, Tom Hagner, and got it fast. Need information yourself? Need the best availabilities in a given market right now? Call your Blair man. That's what he's there for. eiwryy Blair Television :61?c *10 as,``" Television Age VOL.
