I forgot that even you dudes from the sticks of Iowa were still able to pick up WLS.

Here is a piece from my Chi-Town area dealer memorabilia collection. I know that the scan sucks because it is to small but it is as big as I can get it. Larry Lujack is the good lookin gent in the top row middle spot.

Here is the back of that piece. Nickey had a HUGE advertising campaign on WLS for years.

Frank, WLS was what they called a clear channel station. Mega watts of broabcasting power.All the way up to Mi, and down though Missouri. KAAY Little Rock was also. Could pick them up pretty good on a clear cool night. And WLS would also give you the hog, and cattle market from the stock yards. I remember they called them "happy hogs". And just outside the front gate of the stock yards was Mr. Ed's dads realty office. Schonye

September, 1972, my wife (then girlfriend) and I went to visit a friend of mine who was in the Army, stationed at Fort Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina. One night we all went to the drive in to see a movie and we were able to listen to WLS on the radio in his 69 Super Bee while watching the movie 50,000 watts of clear channel power goes a long way!
