CASH BASIS BEGINNING AUG. 10!
Due to the many changes brought about by War Conditions, making merchandise
hard to obtain; also a scarcity of help, we have decided that we can best operate for
ZIZ2, ty° *Z P Z A Strictly Cash Basis!
By operating on a Cash Basis it will greatly reduce our overhead expenses, eliminating clerk hire, and loss
(rom errors made by ticket sales, and this savings we shall pass on to our customers in cheaper prices.
Our adoption of a cash system is NOT a lack of confidence in our customers, BUT to eliminate the unnecessary
work caused by a credit system; and give us more time to serve our customers more efficiently, and to obey the
laws and regulations of our Government as required under War Conditions.
We will greatly appreciate the cooperation of our customers in assisting us to comply with our Goverment’s regulations,
and at the same time sell them merchandise at lower prices.
Our new Cash System does not apply to Electric Ranges, Radios and Furniture, which we will continue to sell on installment terms as before.

Radio Station WDOD | I
Increases Night Power
WDOD, one of the South’s
oldest radio stations, has now ;
increased its night power. Op¬ ;
erating from one of the nation’s
finest and most modern trans¬ I
mitting plants, WDOD’s signal
is pounded across the southeast
with an equivalent of 23,000
watts at night. Now for the first
time WDOD will be easily heard
in this section at night. This is
made possible by WDOD’s new |
equipment; a Federal transmit¬
ter has been installed, just
beating FCC’s deadline on ban
of radio equipment sales. The
new transmitter is the second
of its kind in the entire coun¬
try, duplicating the 50,000 watt
unit recently installed by Col¬
umbia Broadcasting System's
WABC in New York City.
WDOD’s new story is, briefly,
three giant towers, the center
tower rising 365 feet above the
level of the river where WDOD’s
three towers are located. Over
thirty miles of solid copper wire,
literally a buried treasure, is
used in making WDOD’s ground
system of maximum efficieney.
This wire buried in the fertile
bottom lands of the Tennessee
River enables WDOD to use the
great water way of the Tennes¬
see Valley as a sounding boaid
to send you your favorite pro¬
grams.
The history of WDOD is an
intresting one. Its founders, Earl
Winger and Norman A. Thomas,
were amateur radio operators
together in Ohio back in 1914.
Winger was a radio operator
during World War One, and the
men’s experiences in radio led
them to establish the Chatta¬
nooga Radio Corporation in 19-
22 .
Hoping to boost their retail
sales of radio sets, Winger and
Thomas organized ralio station
WDOD with 50 watt power in
the Interstate Life and Accident
Company Building on McCallie
Avenue in Chattanooga in 1925.
However, the station grew in
popularity so fast that by 1930
they closed the Chattanooga
Radio Corporation and devoted
full time to broadcasting. In
November, 1925, WDOD received
its first increase in power to
500 watts, moved to the Patten

and secured enlarged
In 1929 the power was
to 1,000 watts. In 1933
power was again increased
5,000 watts day-time and 1,000
night. Last year WDOD

quarters in the Hamilton
Bank. WDOD's new in¬
to 5,000 watts night with
directional equivalent of 23,-
watts brings Columbia’s

a welcome new comer to add
to your night-time
pleasure.
Taimadge To Speak at
Cedartown Saturday
ATLANTA, Ga.—Governor Tal-
Yiadge will speak Saturday at
campaign speech for re-election,
with a state-wide hook-up over
WSB and WGAA, Cedartown.
This speech will follow a swing
into North Georgia last Satur¬
day, where at Gainesville, he
spoke to a record-breaking
crowd, and at Statesboro Tues¬
day, at the tobacco market op¬
ening.
Cedartown’s program will be
from 2:30 to 4 p. m., with the
broadcast from 3 to 4.
Taimadge headquarters re¬
plied Tuesday to Ralph McGill’s
particularly critical column in
the Atlanta Constitution, in
which the columnist wrote a-
bout the “Same old Taimadge.’ 1
The Taimadge headquarters re¬
plied with a statement, “The
Same Old Taimadge and the
Same Old MfcGill,” which said:
“It is the same old Taimadge
who gave the state honest, ef¬
ficient government; who twice
recovered the schools from ruin;
who brought utilities rates down
25 per cent; who reduced ad
valorem taxes 40 per cent while
expanding all services of the
state; who added 25,484 to old-
age pension rolls without ad¬
ditional tax; who put Georgia
to the forefront in the war ef¬
fort and purged the state’s pay¬
roll of news reporters of the
Atlanta Journal and Constitu¬
tion.
“And it is the same old Ralph
McGill who accepted a salary
check from the Rivers-Arnall
administration every two weeks
while touring Europe on a Ros-
enwald “fellowship’’; who was
subsidized by the Rosenwald
Foundation; who purported to
write impartially on public
questions with Rosenwald and
Rivers-Arnall money in his pock-
i et—still the same old holier-
than-thou Ralph McGill who is
teaching and practicing social
■ equality between the whites and
the negroes.”
Seventeen pounds of kitchen
fats saved will produce a pound
and a half of glycerine, enough
to fire 85 anti-tank shells.
