[Serving a Great Industry. . . R, .adio today is a major force in our national life. We turn to radio for information and instruction, for inspiration and for pleasure. Radio speaks to all ages and all degrees of men. It fills our homes with the beauty of music, the tonic of laughter, the brightness of truth. Radio is everyman's window on the world, an indispensable factor in the culture of America. To serve such a great industry is both a privilege and a responsibility. For ten years, PRESTO has enjoyed that privilege, has been keenly aware of the responsibility. As the world's largest manufacturers of sound recording equipment and discs, we have striven to serve the radio industry as faithfully and with as high integrity as the radio industry has served the American people. and a great nation at war PRESTO sound recorders are being used today to train Army and Navy personnel; to bring music and news to our front-line troops; to counteract enemy propaganda the world over. In addition, the PRESTO plant has become a major supplier of electronic equipment for the armed forces. In these ways, and to the limit of our ability, PRESTO is contributing to our war effort.
