DUTCH RADIOS FOR U.S. RE SHIPMENT REPORTED
With Germany out of the market for the present, the Netherlands remains the only competitor of the United States in the Dominican Republic, Vice Consul William Belton, of Ciudad, Trujilly, reports. It is understood that large stocks of Dutch radios are being held at Curacao for reshipment to the American market, and it is possible that before this supply is exhausted, arrangements will have been made to meet the demand from Dutch owned factories in countries of Holland.
Considering the population, demands for radio sets in the Dominican Republic is limited. Customarily, trade slacks off during the months previous to the release of new models. It is estimated that approximately 5,000 sets are in use in the Dominican Republic. The greatest stimulus which radio sales have received has been the improvement of broadcasting in Cuba, which transmits programs of considerable popularity locally.
