(See horticulture notices in other sections of the paper!). Bowmanville residents are certainly familiar with the old Whiz factory and the line of Whiz products manufactured for the car and home by the R.M. Hollingshead Company. The Whiz family of products covered everything from Anti Freeze to tire inner tube patches. The R.M. Hollingshead business was established as early as 1890 and became incorporated in 1897 with head offices in Camden, New Jersey. By 1930 the company was manufacturing and distributing 98 different products such as soaps, polish, greases, enamel, etc. R.M. Hollingshead of Canada maintained a 4-storey plant in Bowmanville, and in 1930 the offices were located at 503 Metropolitan Building in Toronto. During that period in the fall of 1930 R.M. Hollingshead of Canada sponsored a 30 minute radio show called the Whiz Program. The show featured popular tunes of the day played by one of the top New York bands of the time, namely Ben Pollack and his Orchestra. The Pollack band was always famous for its great musicians. Some members of the band during the late 1920's and early 1930's were Benny Goodman, Jack Teagarden, Jimmy McPartland, Glenn Miller, Ray Bauduc and Harry James. The Whiz Program was broadcast during the early days of radio and due to many limitations in broadcasting in that era the shows were prerecorded prerecorded and preserved on 12 inch 78 rpm records, for air play at the scheduled times. The records played for approximately 3 arid a half minutes per side and so usually 8 or 9 sides were required to make up a 30 minute program, or a total of 4 or 5 discs. The discs, in addition to the musical program, contained announcements, applause, and Whiz commercials. The radio stations would play the discs in continuous order and thereby give the listeners the impression they were hearing a "live" broadcast. Each set of program discs was sent to each station airing the show. There were a total of 13 shows which were sent to stations in Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg, Windsor, London, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and' Halifax. The programs were played on these stations weekly, starting in early October, 1930 and they ran until Christmas. To date only 1 and a half shows have been found. The half show containing the last two discs was found in Montreal in 1968 and the complete show was found last year in an Ontario flea market. The remaining 11 and a half shows (which coüld consist of as many as 55 discs) are desperately needed for research for a forthcoming book on the Ben Pollack Orchestra. Help would be greatly appreciated by the author from anyone who might have information regarding the radio broadcasts or further information information on the history of the Hollingshead company. Related items such as old Whiz cans or advertising memorabilia would also be welcome. Please contact Joe Showier, 221 Balliol St., Apt. 1826, Toronto, Ontario, M4S 1C8, or call collect 416-485-5557.
