In memory of Ed Scala, I submit the attached recording of the first 10
minutes of  "I'll Grant You That", a quiz show done on location at Grant's
Department Store at 75 Court Street. I believe this was recorded in October, 1947.

The recording begins with the end of a Duz (Laundry Detergent) jingle,
and then Clayton (Bud) Collier with a PSA about saving your fat (to sell to the
government for the war effort - fat was used in making shells) and then a
CBS Network ID. Then there's a "WNBF in the Arlington Hotel, Binghamton"
ID followed by a commercial for the McLean's Cold Fur Storage.

Then a 10 minute excerpt from the "I'll Grant You That" show hosted by
Ed Scala and Ron McDermott.

Although I am a year younger than that recording, I remember Grants,
McLean's, the Arlington Hotel. And only WNBF survived them all.

This came from one of those 18 inch diameter transcription disks that were
once sitting in the WNBF production studio in the Sheraton Inn. The transcription
disk (and several others) disappeared when they remodeled the studio.
I think Bill Parker has them.

Please post this rare recording to the Binghamton Radio Archive.

This is a MP3 file and is 1.5mb.  You have to have a player that handles this type file.
