Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Anybody else want to bet against the Weather Man?
Teamed up with Western Union,
the Weather Man hits the nail
on the head better than
85% of the time.
“Mad as a wet hen!" . . .We
all, at times, forget the weather
forecast or don't believe it. But
weather can be far more serious
than an occasional wetting ....
Remember the old fashioned
blizzard -roads blocked, wires
down, business at a standstill?
It’s a different story today...
via Western Union, forecast data
is flashed to Weather Bureaus
every minute of the 24 hours.
Miles . . . hours away, the infant
blizzard is discovered. Experts
map its growth and course, give
ample warning.
Emergency crews rush to keep
highways, tracks and wires open.
By the time the storm strikes,
perishables are undercover, food
distribution is adjusted. merchants
are advertising hand lotion
and ski togs . . .
75 years ago, Western Union
helped to establish the nation's
Weather Bureau. Today, a vital
part of the Bureau's data reaches
forecasters via Western Union.
Automatic, instant distribution
of data to weather stations and
airports totals about the same
as 5 million telegrams every day.
Resulting forecasts score 85% to
90% accuracy.
For nearly 100 years, Western
Union has been pioneering in
communications. As. a second
century of progress nears,
Western Union developments in
automatic telegraphy and electronics
foreshadow a new era in
the transmission of the written
word .... The Western Union
