The Exurbanites

The Columbia Broadcasting System and its 217 affiliated stations present the CBS Radio Workshop. Radio's distinguished series dedicated to man's imagination, the theatre of the mind. Tonight, for the first time on the air, a treatment of AC Spatorsky's current and sensational best-seller, a factual yet incredible report of those New Yorkers who try to mix work in the city with country living

and who almost invariably end up behind the eight wall. Narrated by Eric Saveride, the CBS radio workshop presents the X Urbanites. This is Eric Saveride. Since the X Urbanites became a best-seller, it has been called terrifying, hilarious, penetrating savage. But you will call it depends entirely on you.

But you can be sure of this, whoever you are, wherever you live, The exurbanites will strike home to you. Because it's the account of the men who publish your magazines who hold sway over your radio and television programs who shape your buying habits in their advertising agencies.

Every day of your life, they encourage you to tremendous dreams. Because they themselves earn their rich living by dreaming tremendously. Sunshine. Man, where did you find Sunshine like that? like it friend. Well this is the greatest you've ever painted Pruitt. The way that Sunline streams through the window the way it lights the herbs in the window box

the way it touches the girls hair the way it dramatizes the can opener. Hold me Van Gogh. No I mean it Pruitt. This is the best artwork I've seen as art director of this agency. It'll sell a million can openers or I go down with a Titanic. Who's the model? Well who needs a model for the typical American housewife?
