The two ads shown below announce radio performances of the song "Gime el viento" (The Wind Howls): first by Aníbal Troilo's orchestra, and eight days later by Miguel Calo's. It looks like the ads were placed by the composers (Music by Atilio Bruni; lyrics by Oscar Rubens), their publisher, or some other entity that had an interest in the success of the composition.
