Old Time Market Again In Carroll County
The Carroll Record, July 5, 1973
You can find historical lore aplenty in Carroll County, in the heart of northern Maryland's agriculturally oriented Piedmont area.
Another plaque marks the location of "Corbit's Charge" on June 29, 1863, which slowed up a Rebel cavalry division on its way to the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War, some 20 miles up present highway 140 in neighboring Pennsylvania.
And a cultural spill-over from north of the old Mason-Dixon Line is in Pennsylvania Dutch influence with its tradition for thriftiness and home gardening.
It's this latter heritage which helped make a success of the county's first old-time farmers market last year during an 11-week run on summer Saturdays at the Carroll County Agricultural Center, according to Robert L. Jones, County Extension agricultural agent.
That success has blossomed into plans for a 13-week resumption this year, beginning Saturday (July 7) at the same location, Jones has announced on behalf of the farmers market committee. It is located adjacent to the Farm Museum, south of Westminster on Smith Avenue, off U.S. Highway 140 and between state highways 32 and 27.

Teacher Fowble Slugged By Hitch-Hiker
Democratic Advocate, July 2, 1948.
Fred Fowble, Westminster High School teacher found unconscious early Saturday on the Old Frederick road near Hollofield, Howard county, told police he was assaulted by a young "hitchhiker."
The assailant, who fled in his victim's automobile, struck Fowble on the head shortly after being picked up near the Patapsco River bridge. Fowble, thrown from the car, was found lying in the roadway by Andrew Huppler, a passing motorist, about 2 a.m.
Huppler took the unconscious man to the Ellicott City Police Station.
When he was revived, Fowble gave Patrolman Charles Linthicum an account of the assault. Fowble said he was returning to his home in Westminster from Baltimore when the youth, standing near the bridge, solicited a ride.
After picking up the "hitch-hiker," Fowble reported he had driven about a quarter of a mile when he was struck on the head and lost consciousness. In addition to stealing his car, the assailant robbed him of his cash. Fowble was treated by a doctor in Ellicott City for a head wound before being returned to his home at 60 Court street.

First TV Ad and 1961 Television commercial promotion - Television TapeMost of my readers know that I am a big fan of the art of videos, advertising and television commercials. It was on this date – July 1, 1941 that what is believed to be the first television commercial aired in the United States.
It was right before a baseball between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies on July 1, 1941, the first television advertisement was broadcast in the United States.
At exactly 2:29 in the afternoon, the New York City NBC affiliate, WNBT, aired a 20-second spot for the Bulova Watch Company. Bulova paid $9 for the ad. According to a Bulova history account, the ad simply displayed a Bulova watch over a map of the U.S., with a voiceover of the company's slogan “America runs on Bulova time!”
The link for “Inside Production” is here, http://www.televisiontape.tv/Story.html, and the article is a comprehensive - must read for folks who, like me, enjoy the art of advertizing, especially TV advertizing.
We owe Mr. Schoenknecht a great debt of gratitude for finding and saving this historic material. He wrote that he had “…found a box of cast-off 16mm films while I was a Communication Arts student decades ago…”
This video has something for everyone from techno-geeks, folks who study the science and art of advertising to historians to aficionados of early television.
Please enjoy – and thanks again to Mr. Schoenknecht.

The Noise You Can’t Ignore Grows Louder in Chicago
(Please see my Dayhoff Media disclosures)
CHICAGO, July 1, 2008 -- Wikipedia says, “The Jacor name is retired from broadcasting,” but the roaring bark of Jacor’s mascot bulldog is being heard loud and clear in Chicago. That bark added more bite this week when Tribune Interactive President Marc Chase named Jana Gavin senior director/business development for Tribune Interactive.
Gavin is part of a growing team of Jacor veterans now working for Tribune, which includes Chase, Sean Compton (senior vice president/programming for Tribune Broadcasting), Steve Gable (chief technology officer), Russ Gilbert (vice president/digital innovation) and Special Consultant Roy Laughlin. Sam Zell owned Jacor Communications and Randy Michaels, Tribune chief operating officer, ran the media corporation from 1993 to 1999.
During that time, Michaels and his Jacor warriors dominated radio by having the best-programmed and highly-rated stations, and built Jacor into a vastly-valued and widely-respected company by focusing on its audience, employees and investors. Michaels became chief executive officer of Clear Channel Radio when it acquired Jacor in 1999; the transaction provided a healthy profit for Jacor’s shareholders.
“When I hear Chase, Compton, and now Jana Gavin referred to as ‘Clear Channel’ people, I laugh. Media veterans know they are Jacor!” said Kim Johnson, Tribune Interactive’s senior vice president/local sales (who never worked for Jacor, but wishes she did). “Jacor people are known for being fierce competitors and playing to win, so teaming up with the great staff already at Tribune gives us a significant leg up on the rest of the market. Sales people know it’s easier to sell media products with the largest and most-loyal audiences. And Jana knows how to make the cash register ring from her time at Jacor as vice president/non-traditional revenue, where she was responsible for an $85 million annual budget.”
Gavin’s appointment is effective immediately. She will be based in Columbus, Ohio.
