Some of Our Girls at WLS...


You only come to know the voices that are "on the air," but there are many others here whose daily work is necessary to take care of the thousands of details in connection with programs and handling of mail. These smiling girls are busy as bees from morning till night.

Upper row (at the right), left to right: Grace Cassidy, Bertha Fosler, Clementine Legg. Lower row: Anna Mae Buskee, Ruth Luce, Margaret Connell. WLS clerks

The girls in the mail department at WLS have handled as many as eight thousand letters a day. They read the mail, then refer it to the person or department interested. In a year they handle three quarters of a million letters.
