LOUIS IN THE SURPRISING NEW SOUTH CAROLINA THE WATCHFUL SET AT ELGIN What did South Carolina do to attract Elgin? More than merely change the name of a town to Elgin. Among other things, it trained South Carolinians as technicians, without cost to Elgin, in State -operated technical schools designed to produce employees for any new industry's requirements -an idea attractive to many. For examples: General Electric, Argus Cam- era, Allied Chemical, Du Pont, Smith -Corona Mar - chant, Utica Drop Forge, Horsman Doll, and others. The surprising new South Carolina is soaring as an industrial economy -far outstripping the nation as a whole, nearly doubling the personal incomes of South Carolinians in the 1950's. What does this have to do with WIS- Television? This station -which reaches the majority of South Carolina counties without peripheral buys, knows South Caro- linians' preferences best, after 31 years of broadcasting from the hub -like capital city -now serves a surprising new kind of South Carolina -alert, aware, selective of the best in information and entertainment, and able to buy. It reaches the watchful set, of course, as it reaches other South Carolinians who watch the best. WISTELEVISION Charles A.
