This message is a reply to an archived post by Guyotsmith on February 22, 2007 at 13:28:49. The original subject was "Re: Chilean Soda Advertising".
I stumbled on this site while trying to locate information about several radio shows in the 20's 30's and 40's. Last February Guyotsmith wrote the following which has now been archived:
"My grandmother was hired to write a syndicated radio series, UNCLE NATCHEL, sponsored by Chilean Nitrate, in the late '30s and ending in 1942. It amazes me that no 16" radio transcriptions of the series have ever turned up in the possession of old-time radio devotees.

He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
