COMPARE 8%3 60-HOUR BUNN

SPEC Wl ELINVAR

THINK for a moment on this: does your present railroad watch actually meet today's high-speed require- ments? Many railroad men have asked themselves that question recently - and then retired their watches in favor of a new modern 60-hour BUNN SPECIAL ELINVAR.

W'hy? Because Ellnvar reduces the dangerous effects of modern watch hazards. Magnetism, moisture and extremetemperaturechanges.Because that famous 60-hour hairspring pro- vides that extra margin of safety. And finally because ILLINOIS has a repu- tation for precision which dates back to 1870. It has always been good. Stop in at your jeweler's and compare your watch with this watch. Write direct for a free boqklet describing Eiinvar. Address Dept. R, Illinois Watch. Lancaster, Pa.

(Illurrrdrsd aboue):MODEL IIL8. A brand new BUNN SPECIAL ELINVAR-designed to meet modern high-speed requirements. Available in 10 K fillcd natural yellow gold. 21 or 23 jewels.

f was really flattered when Mlsa Ifaroaret Nichols mked me t o write nW "suc~es8" storu. It really bn't auch a l a w e story im ~ e a l i t y , but to me it w a great stride toward my life ambitdo*. When father w m agent at BuhZer, Kaw. , I thought manv times just how far away opportunity was. Needless to say, op- portunity, that (a the ktnd o f oppor- tunity that I was looking for, was not to be found there. To the tune of "I Was Lucky" the tracer clerk job came open in the Kansas City Commercial Of- fice and father manacled to get it. Soon after rue a d v e d in ' ~ a n s a a City, I be- gan cdtting around for the opportunity I had been looking for so long, and that was a c?-ack a t radio.

Station W H B , Kanans City, Mo., cotr- ducts a prograna call& the W H B Frolic and it's sole purpose ia to dwcover new and better 1-aclio talent and cheer up the sick and shut ins. Mr. Charles Lee gave w e an audition and there it is in a nut shell. I got on. I do owe a very Eawe uota, of thanks, OT I might sag several o ~ c h ~ d s to Mrs. John Parry for the won- derful help she has niven me with my songs. Of course all it nteans to ms is the experience but that is just the thing 1 am looking fo? W H B 3s a great station and has a swell staff. 2 hope yo74 E48ten to us just lots, If any of you have friends OT relatives or anvone who is sick and shut in and you would like to have us sing or play a number for them, just drop Charles Lee, a t station W H B , a card telling him about i t and he to111 be glad to arrange a number for you.
