"Why should you choose a WHY I RECOMMEND

'~ - It has TWICE the coolingcapacity and only HALF the running time!"..:..'~~"The new Kelvinator refrigerators weredesigned and built to give their userseverything.

SMALL DOWN PAYMENTEASY MONTHLY TERMS

To me, it is no wonder at allthat this summer thousandsand thousands moremen and womenthan ever beforeare taking thetimetogotoKel-vinator show-rooms. I'vefound that peo-ple are quick todiscover wherethey can get themost for their money,and in my opinion Kelvin-ator is today an outstandingleader in that respect.

I'm not an appliance expert;but mywork has made it nec-essary for me to do a greatdeal of investigating into al-most every subject underthe sun - and so I believeI'm qualified to judge realquality and real value whenI see it. Letters from a greatmany listeners have con-vinced me that the Kelvina-tor refrigerator, for example,

is the best on the market.People have sent me their

household bills cov-ering a period ofseveral yearsbe-fore and afterbuying a Kel-vinator asproof of thegreat savingsin electricityand food costs.

Real quality andreal value 'certainly

are· present in all the 1937Kelvinator products. I feelthat that is the importantreason forour program's hav-ing been so successful. Weare all proud and happyto represent Kelvinator, andwe all fairly outdo ourselvesin our efforts to give thefriends of Kelvinator goodentertainment and lots of fun.'

THE PROFESSOR PROGRAMWHERE IT STARTED, HOW IT WORKS IIMONKEYON A ROPE II AND OTHER AMUSING PROGRAM HAPPENINGSThe rise to popularity of this Saturday night radio feature has been littleshort of phenomenal. Begun only a little more than a year ago as a test on aWashington D. C., station, its success was established almost overnight.

THE QUIZZING PRO·FESSOR-They call him"Professor Quiz:' butnone but himself knowshis real name or hisother occupations.Rumor has him a law-yer, an instructor inpsychology, apractic· (ing psychiatrist. While he neither denies noraffirms these reports, their accuracy gains acertain credence by the ease with which hehandles nervous contenders, readily meetsunusual situations of personality and uner·ringly brings the best efforts from those whoface his microphone.

THE FLYING ASSISTANT - Then there'sArthur Godfrey. flying assistant to the Pro·fessor. Arthur commutes by plane fromWashington, which keeps the Professor "inthe air" part of the time. Arthur frequentlyturns some of the Professor's medicine backby himself asking questions of the Professor.

QUESTIONS FROM LISTENERS-The ingenu·ous questions propounded by the Professorare all suggested by his radio listeners. Hisfan-mail headquarters actually looks like abusy branch of the post office, with everyassistant following an accurate system for thereading and grading of all entries.

THE PROGRAM CONTENDERS-The follow·ing procedure is used to pick contestants toappear on the program: Application is madeby letter to Professor Quiz. The letters arefiled. and applicants are picked in the order inwhich their letters are received. ProfessorQuiz himself has no part in choosing the con-testants-this is done by his staff.

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN-Most of the con·tenders have never before faced a micro.phone.Many of them get "mike fright:' and stand

speechless and awed before the Professor.Gently and sympathetically, however, hemakes them "feel at home:' at the same timeskillfully keeping the conversation moving ata merry pace.And the audience loves to "coach"-just

can't resist offering hints, some helpful andsome not so helpful to the contender. But theProfessor's genial "Let's have no coaching.please" always gets results.

EVEN A MONKEY- To arbitrate one of theProfessor's decisions. a monkey, the RinglingBrothers and Barnum andBailey Circus and leadingscien lists were calledupon. The amazing dem-onstration took place inMadison Square Gardenon April 22.Prof. Quiz, on one of

his previous programs,had asked this question:"A rope is hanging overa pulley: on one end ofthe rope hangs a certain weight. and on theother end is a monkey of exactly the sameweight. The monkey starts to climb the rope.What happens to the weight on the otherend?" When the contender answered that theweight went up, the Professor ruled himwrong, saying that the weight would moveneither up nor down. Within a few days. let.ters came pouring in from people in all walksof life and in every part of the country. somedefending the contender, others the Professor.So the demonstration was staged, and. after

much difficulty in getting the monkey to climbthe rope at aIL the weight went up. One ofthe judges said that in reality it was themonkey that won, but a duplicate prize wasawarded the contender.
