A.L. Alexander's Mediation Board
''A.L. Alexander's Mediation Board'' is a 1940s radio program in which private citizens with personal problems received advice from a panel of educators and sociologists. Launched in 1939, the series borrowed elements from host A.L. Alexander's earlier (1935–36) program of legal advice, '' A.L. Alexander's Goodwill Court''. Alexander was once described by ''Time'' as "earnest, voluble, begoggled Albert Louis Alexander, onetime divinity student, actor, social worker, legman, radio announcer." In the early 1940s, Alexander's show was carried by Mutual in a 45-minute format, with a trio of experts dispensing advice on such topics as romance, marriage and financial woes.

Serutan was an early fiber-type laxative product which was widely promoted on U.S. radio and television from the 1930s through the 1960s. Serutan was folded into Pharmaceuticals Inc.'s 1957 acquisition of J. B. Williams Co., founded in 1885. J. B. Williams Co. was bought out by Nabisco in 1971. The origin of the brand name was straight forward. The makers merely decided to spell "natures" backwards, and "Read it backwards" was the product's advertising slogan. This was to differentiate it as being a "natural" product as opposed to laxative brands which stimulated the colon by chemical action. The product was almost uniformly promoted on programs whose core audience was known to be considerably older than the typical television viewer. Serutan is especially associated with ''The Lawrence Welk Show'' and ''The Original Amateur Hour'', both of which were also sponsored by J. B. Williams products Sominex, a sleeping pill, and Geritol, a vitamin supplement. Serutan was the target of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
