Presented here is a jingle created for Shamokin Equipment dated 1951. We recently stumbled across this acetate disc at an antique store in Lewisburg, PA. This is a great example of the early early sound of local radio at WISL. This jingle would have been used to set up a live announcer reading the advertised specials at Shamokin Equipment for the day. Before the wide use of tape machines, most radio stations would “cut” items such as jingles and promotional spots to acetate discs. These discs would then be used for future playback. This particular disc was most likely a “proof” that would have been sent to the advertiser for approval before the advertising campaign began. You can also tell that this was an “in-house” production, most likely with local talent as the musicians and singer.

Unfortunately, we have no other information about this jingle.
