I t appears as though the show was sustaining until it found a national sponsor, which it did in January of 1940 - Kellogg's Pep. The ad above in from November 10, 1939.
Red Ryder was primarily heard on the West Coast through the Don Lee Mutual network. Lagendorf Bread was a regional bakery. The Lone Ranger was heard on Mutual in the East, sponsored by Silvercup Bread. As the networks grew and more stations were added, national brands like General Mills took over.
I am amazed at the different brands of bread that were advertised on otr. I know Red Ryder also did and it was another brand I never heard before.
