Above the Star Spangled Comics promo. This ad is similar to the one that ran originally in [gcd_link_issue_with_date](2034) but with fewer U.S. stations, and the size is much smaller. The ad promotes 39 stations in the United States, on in Newfoundland and 26 in Canada airing the Superman radio show, along with their sponsors. Text at the bottom encourages readers to write their local stations and ask for the show.
