| Description |
English: Illustration from the 1926 book, Sam 'n' Henry, which was published by Shrewsbury Publishing for the Chicago Tribune. The newspaper also owned (and continues to own) Chicago radio station WGN, where this program was broadcast in the 1920's. The performers and originators of the show were Charles Correll and Freeman Gosden. When the pair wanted to distribute this radio program in a syndicated form, station WGN refused to permit it. Gosden and Correll then re-worked some of the stories of the characters they created and re-named them, since WGN owned the rights to the names Sam 'n' Henry. Gosden and Correll found WMAQ Radio agreeable to their wishes to pursue syndication for the program, and Sam 'n' Henry became Amos 'n' Andy on WMAQ and then on both NBC and CBS through the many years the show aired. |

- A search for renewals for books was done for the years 1953 and 1954. There were no listings for the Chicago Tribune. Further, a check for renewals for the same years was done in periodicals. Again, nothing was located for the Chicago Tribune, so the company didn't renew their newspapers from this timeframe either. There's no evidence that copyright continues to be claimed on this material.
