The following advertisement was printed in the Perkasie News-Herald on February 11th, 1965. This advertisement was a little different, it is disguised as a letter to a listener from then Program Director Dick Heist. The presentation may not be flashy, however, for the reader who took the time to read the letter, they would walk away with a complete understanding of everything that WNPV had to offer at the time.
