Notes and Table of Contents:  Who They Are over WNAC Boston


Book was Copyright 1940 by National Radio Personalities, Inc., Publishers, Peoria, IL.  While we do not have the original book, we greatly appreciate the generosity of WNAC friend, fan, and supporter, James Bocock, who copied each page.

We felt that transcribing the captions on each page was an all-too-overwhelming task.  Therefore, below, we have provided information as to who or what is on each page.  As we have scanned each page verbatim, you should be able to read the full captions on each page.
