Summary[edit]

Description Promotional photo of musician Bob Atcher. Atcher was part of many local (Chicago) and national radio and television programs. He was also the mayor of the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg, Illinois from 1959 to 1979. Atcher hosted some children's television programs in the late 1940s to early 1950s. The photo depicts him as the host of "Meadow Gold Ranch", which was named for its sponsor, an area dairy. The program aired on WENR-TV, which became WBKB-TV in 1953, and WLS-TV in 1968. The signature on the photo appears to be a facsimile and it seems to have been distributed to publicize the show's contest.
Date The Golden Age of Chicago Children's Television says the program aired from 1951 to 1953 under various names.

While there are no copyright marks on the front of the photo, I am not able to view its back. A search at copyright.gov for the names WENR and Meadow Gold turned up no results for a possible copyright renewal. My belief is that this was published without notice/copyright, but will license it as not renewed to be certain.
