WORLD’S BEST BATTERY MAKER

How many Chicagoans know that this was the original derivation of the WBBM call letters? (While doing research about this video discovery, I found out for the first time.)

This Chicago radio station traces its history to 1911, when Leslie and Ralph Atlass, owners of the Mallory Battery Company of Lincoln, Illinois began an amateur spark station. In 1924, it received a commercial license under its current call letters (WBBM), which stand for World's Best Battery Maker. In later years, an alternate meaning, "We Broadcast Better Music," was created.
