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.

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 GRAHAM BLADE GO. 1275 MARKET S~, CHATTANOOGA, T&NN. 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 its studios to more spac- quarters in the Hamilton Bank. WDOD's new in¬ to 5,000 watts night with directional equivalent of 23,- watts brings Columbia’s for the Tri-State area of Alabama, and Tennes¬ 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.
