DID YOU KNOW that there is a war going on in the radio business ?
The Columbia Broadcasting System and the National Broadcasting
Company are slugging it out, trying to get top-talent away from each
other. For instance, CBS has already won Jack Benny, Amos ‘n' Andy,
Red Skelton, Charley McCarthy, and many other high-rated programs
from NBC. CBS is now on top of the heap. But last week, a scene took
place in Hollywood that was a true story, but one which may well have
been part of a movie. The president and vice-president of the National
Broadcasting Company sneaked into Hollywood incognito, just like a
pair of spies. Their purpose? To try to save Fibber McGee and Molly
from a Columbia raiding party. Some fun. The war isn’t over yet, but
right now it looks like the top shows in radio will be heard on CBS
stations.

TELL YOUR DOG that Arthur Godfrey, best known and loved day-

FROM THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM comes this bit of rib-tickling:
MRS. COLMAN: Tuesday morning, Jack Benny volunteered to shovel
all the snow away from our house, and he did it, too.
COLMAN: Yes, you know that was shrewd of me, telling him I
dropped a dime on our front lawn.

YOU’LL BE SEEING two new groups of performers who will be giv-
ing performances and playing at dances in your home towns. They are
the Pickering Family and the Rhythm Rangers, two new units now
heard on KTRH, Houston. (Pickerings, Monday through Friday,
6:30-6:45 A.M.; Rhythm Rangers, Monday through Friday, 12:30-1:00
P.M.) Both are available for bookings through the station.

BEFORE AND AFTER CHURCH, on Sunday mornings, you’ll hear
many fine religious programs on all radio stations. Leaders in the
spiritual world say that radio has helped bring religion into the homes.
If you’re not already a Sunday morning listener, just listen next Sunday
and see if you don’t agree that radio is a fine public institution. See
you next week.

Story on Diestel
Makes Humble Co.’s
Publication News
A nice story about A. H. Dies-
tel, a Humble dealer here, ap-
peared in the Humble Sales Lu-
bricator, a magazine published
by the company. The. article is
entitled “Service Sells,” and be-
gins “This whisk broom and my
right arm make a real service
combination,” says A. H. Dies-
tel, genial dealer at Sealy in the
Southeast Texas division.” A pic-
ture of Mr. Diestel holding a
whisk broom and standing be-
side a car, accompanies the story.
The article states that Mr.
Diestel believes in giving com-
plete 8-Step Service when the
motorist is not in a rush. If the
motorist is in a hurry, he sends
him promptly on his way, and
gives him 8-Step Service the
next time he comes in. It
stresses Mr. Diestel’s use of, a
whisk broom in promoting good
will and making new friends
among his customers.
