Just want to send a few well deserved accolades to writer Jim Cox on his
thorough explanation of 'Peet!'
I found his story fascinating and if this is any indication of what's to
come in his latest [removed]'m buying!
Jim leaves no 'details' to doubt. He is a remarkable writer and  researcher!
Thanks for your work, Jim.

All my best

Subject:  This week in radio history 9-15 December

 From Those Were The Days --

12/9

1940 - The Longines Watch Company signed for the first FM radio
advertising contract -- with experimental station W2XOR in New York
City. The ads ran for 26 weeks and promoted the Longines time signals.

12/10

1927 - For the first time, famed radio announcer George Hay introduced
the WSM Barn Dance as The Grand Ole Opry.

12/11

1944 - The Chesterfield Supper Club debuted on NBC. Perry Como, Jo
Stafford and many other stars of the day shared the spotlight on the
15-minute show that aired five nights a week. The show was sponsored by
Chesterfield cigarettes.

Little humour here:  The first display of the Northern Lights was
recorded in America was made in New England on this day in 1719. The
report said that a mysterious face seemed to appear in the atmosphere;
and, since most aurora borealis displays occur in September and October
and again in March and April, this is very strange, indeed!

The green, red, and frost-white light displays occur most frequently
when there is a great deal of sunspot activity.

Old joke.  Phil Harris and Alice Faye go to Alaska to see the Northern
Lights.  While watching them Phil notices Alice yawning and asks, "Does
the aurora bore ya Alice?"

12/12

 From The [removed] --

1901 -- Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi receives the first
transatlantic radio transmission in St. John's Newfoundland.

 From Those Were The Days --

1937 - The Federal Communications Commission was a bit upset with NBC.
The FCC scolded the radio network for a skit that starred Mae West. The
satirical routine was based on the biblical tale of Adam and Eve and,
well, it got a bit out of hand with Miss West's reading.  So, following
its scolding by the FCC, NBC banned Miss West from its airwaves for 15
years. Even the mere mention of her name on NBC was a no-no.

12/13

1942 - The characters of Allen's Alley were presented for the first time
on The Fred Allen Show. This particular segment of the show became very
popular and was used by Allen until 1949. Remember the stops along the
way in Allen's Alley? They were at the Brooklyn tenement of Mrs.
Nussbaum, the farmhouse of Titus Moody, the shack of Ajax Cassidy and
the antebellum mansion of Senator Beauregard Claghorn.

12/14

1953 - Fred Allen returned from semi-retirement to narrate Prokofiev's
classic, Peter and the Wolf, on the Bell Telephone Hour on NBC.

Subject:  Peet

The Peet Brothers enterprise grew to be the largest soap factory beyond
the Mississippi River.

Not to be confused with their factory devoted to moss.
