237 pages, Includes a description of "Consumer Time," a radio program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and produced by Donald E. Montgomery, consumer's counsel for USDA beginning in 1935. At that time, the USDA was the only government agency with an "official" position devoted to the concerns of the consumer. (p. 145). Another program, "Consumer Flashes," was part of the "National Farm and Home Hour" broadcast on NBC "Red" Network. Also includes (p. 47) statistics showing how lower-income listeners made up about 80% of the U.S. radio audience in 1940.
