...studio on the quiet campus of the University of Wisconsin's College of Agriculture last week Artist-in-Residence John Steuart Curry put the last dab of paint on a 20-foot sweep of canvas, laid down his brushes, and thereby made news. For John Steuart Curry, in the ten years since he first hit his stride with a picture of violence called The Tornado, has become the most notable of U. S. regional artists. And his canvas was the second of two oil-and-tempera murals that will be -lifted into place next autumn on the walls...

Arrangements were made immediately: Hypnotist Howard Klein was going to hypnotize someone right in the studio. It seemed like a swell idea at the time. Mr. Klein, a great hand at house parties, was delighted. He sent little printed cards to a lot of his friends, telling them to be sure to listen in. At Young & Rubicam's request, he bustled up to Manhattan two days...
Stan Shaw's sponsors now number eleven, have been as many as 14. They and the studio net him between $7,500 and $10,000 a year. In his first year he broadcast ten chop-licking plugs a night to the lunchroom circuit for doughnuts and buns made by Fischer Baking Co. Sample "It's permissible to dunk Fischer's doughnuts up to the second knuckle." In that year Fischer's opened two new branches, added 19 new delivery routes. His first sponsor, in 1935, was Krueger Brewing Co. In 25 days, with no other advertising...
