Enna Jettick wasn’t a person, but a
modern shoe line designed in 1926 by Fred Light Emerson of the Dunn
& McCarthy Shoe Co. The popular “energetic”, affordable and
fashionable shoes were advertised in clever ways, one being these Radio
Call Letter Log booklets. These were given out by the Oen Mercantile Co.
in Thief River Falls Minnesota. Note light stamps at bottom of covers.
Some history: Oen Bros. Hardware 1898; Oen Mercantile Co. General Store
& Hardware 1908-1958
Catering to the Shortwave radio buffs. At the time Enna Jettick was a
shoe brand, and the recording was meant as an advertisement. The
"Songbird" sang on a radio series in the early 1930s. Enna Jettick made
shoes and 3 other unidentified singers performed on the program "Enna
Jettick Melodies" which aired on WJZ, and WEAF back in 1930. Enna
Jettick survived the Great depression, but got out of radio. The company
was still advertising their shoes in 1951.
