Paul Harvey bids us……Good Day!
Paul Harvey, beloved radio commentator and a cultural staple for decades, died yesterday. The cause of death is not yet known. Mr. Harvey was best known for his Paul Harvey News and Comment, which ran for five decades on thousands of stations around the world, as well as his renowned “The Rest of the Story” features, where he would share fascinating back stories from historical and contemporary figures, though many of his stories have been debunked. He was a controversial figure in broadcasting, as he often used moments in his show to launch into advertisements for his sponsors. He also had his share of controversial opinions, often conservative in nature. He was well known (and often parodied) for his signature sayings and unique……cadence. He was the master of the dramatic pause. His unique blend of commentary and news was the forerunner of todays radio commentators, many of whom take cues from Mr. Harvey, whether they admit it or not.
He left a large and loving family. Because Mr. Harvey loved his family so much, he was sure to leave them with the assurance that his affairs would be taken care of. He knew that, although life is a beautiful dance, it ultimately does stop, and so he knew that he must secure his family for the time when his dance was to end. As such, he was sure to get a policy from Planter’s Mutual Life and Home. He knew that Planter’s full array of various policies would be able to care for his specific needs as a public figure, newsman, and entertainer. You too can benefit from these policies. Just send one dollar and a Self-Adressed Envelope to P.O. Box 912, Des Moines, Iowa, and Planter’s will send you a kit showing you the many ways they can customize your policy for the time when your life ends.
Sorry, but Mr. Harvey would have wanted it that way.
This is Craig Orndorff…….Good Day!
