KFBB began in 1922 in an upstairs corner of the F. A. Buttrey general store in Havre. Old Man Buttrey, now one of Montana's biggest merchants, still sees to it that the station pays more attention to the facts of Montana life than to Kate Smith and Jell-0, for instance.

...ever duplicated shellac's complicated chemical structure. But Chem ist C. G. Harford, of the Arthur D. Little laboratory in Cambridge, Mass., found that a resin named zein, derived from corn, behaved very much like shellac. A drawback, however, was that in solution zein had a tendency to jell. By an un disclosed chemical process, Harford finally succeeded in converting zein into a non-jelling resin. The result, Zinlac, not only has the quick-drying, elastic qualities of shellac, but is also more resistant to water and makes a better coat for metal...

Next season, Sponsor General Foods confessed, Benny will plug some other General Foods product, not the Jell-O with which he shares his present fame.
