PIONEER OF THE AIR FOUNDED IN 1919, the Radio Corporation of America has completed 18 years of pioneering effort to develop and improve the uses of radio. Starting "from scratch," RCA has created a world-wide communications system with direct circuits between the United States and 42 foreign countries, and with ships at sea. It has created a nation-wide broadcasting system of endless cultural possibilities, now rapidly expanding its services by short-wave to all the world. It has created essential instruments for the radio transmission and reception of sound, of code messages, and of facsimile reproductions, and for the recording and reproduction of sound on records and on motion picture film. It has created countless radio devices indispensable to modern science, industry, medicine, telephony, and public safety. It has created the basis for a system of electronic television, forecasting the day when radio sight, added to sound, will perform a useful public service. Today the Radio Corporation of America is owned by nearly a quarter of a million stockholders in 48 states. No one person owns as much as Vi of 1% of its stock. Achievements of the past 18 years are a tribute to the American tradition of service in the public interest through private initiative and ownership. RCA presents the "Magic Key" every Sunday, 2 to 3 P.M., E. S. T. , on NBC Blue Network. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA RADIO CITY • NEW YORK, U. S. A.
