Back in the late Fifties, when I was the CE for an Arkansas AM kilowatter, the
station had a big book of ad copy. All one had to do was to fill in the blanks.

In return for my on call engineering service, I got a stipend and all the free
ads for my TV service shop they could fit in.

The DJs were students at the adjacent college. My favorite DJ, who had the best
voice, loved to cut commercials for me. They were great. And their results were
great, too! G

In recent years, I heard an ad on a mom and pop station that came out of that
book. It begins, "There's Spring in the air." So the book is still around.
