"...the WTIC transmitter on
Avon Mountain, 650 feet above sea-level.The program reaches here by wires both above and
below ground. One transmission tower may be seen behind the building...."

"...the Transmitter Room where 250,000 watts of energy meet the
sound impulses of the program in the transmitter in front of the desk, and dwindle to
50,000 watts carrying the sound into the towers where it is radiated for hundreds of miles
to receiving sets. All in a split-second."

"The Fox 'Morning Watch' with Ben Hawthorne and "Bessie
Bossie, " now starting its fifth consecutive year for 'America's most modern
Department Store,' (G. Fox & Co) a merry program at your service each weekday morning
7-8 o'clock with Fox news, world-headlines, fun and frolic to set you up for the entire
day!"

"Can it be THE 'Bessie Bossie,' or merely a 'country cousin?'
Yaaa, we ain't gonna tell...but our studios are six flights up, so you figure it out. And
by the way - 'Bessie' is now the heroine of a book just published...written by Ben, of
course. Illustrated by Hollis C. Booth."
