Although the company did not sell anything that everyday Americans could purchase in 1935, they sponsored this radio show with the intention of improving the company image in America. They demanded that a gunshot should never be heard on any program, and that the shows only include stories and songs about the men and women who helped America move forward. This show aired on the C.B.S. radio network from October 6, 1935, to March 31, 1953, creating almost 800 uplifting and educational episodes about America and the people and ideas that helped her grow. After the 18 year run on radio the company moved the program to television, and some of those episodes can be seen here:

Crime Classics came to CBS September 30, 1953 and was a neat little series of "true crime stories". The show introduced itself succinctly: "Crime Classics, a series of true crime stories from the records and newspapers of every land, from every time. Your host each week, Mr. Thomas Hyland -- connoisseur of crime, student of violence, and teller of murders." Thomas Hyland was played by Lou Merrill, although you'd never know it was an "actor" doing the part. The great Elliott Lewis, actor, producer and director of Suspense, Broadway is My Beat, and On Stage is in charge of this very intelligent and enjoyable show. Bernard Herrmann composed the music that duplicated authentic music of the era being dramatized. Morton Fine and David Friedkin wrote the scripts. Lewis and his writers collected and developed true crime stories expressly for Crime Classics.
