February 9, 1942 + Page 17 780 WEEKS ON THE NETWORK MOST PEOPLE LISTEN TO MOST HE best testimonial ever invented is the satisfied customer. We point proudly to one of our long list, Cities Service, as an interesting example of NBC Red Network effectiveness. For fifteen years of Friday nights, Cities Service has employed the facilities of the Red to spread fine music—and the fine points of fine gasolene—to millions upon millions of American families. That the com bination works, and works well, is amply attested by the fact that Cities Service has renewed its Red Network contract not once or three or Ave or eight times, but Jfifteen—and is now starting its sixteenth year of doing business at the same old Friday night stand on NBC Red. Dwell on that for a moment, when you think about radio in general, or the Red Network in particular. Or consider how consistently other leading American busi ness organizations use the Red. Of all the Red’s 1941 clients, a summary reveals, ninety-five per cent were renew- als. Seventy-five per cent of our present ad- vertisers can look back to five or more years on the Red Network—an even third of them to ten or more years. The best testimonial ever invented is the satisfied customer. The Red Network spe cializes in them.
