IiNO;\T TELEVISION IETWORK
Probably chiefly known for the development of the cathode-ray tube, which provides today's set owners with clear, bright, reliable pictures, Dr. Allen B. DuMont, president of the Allen B. DuMont Laboratories, Inc., heads the only company in the U. S. that is actively engaged in all phases of television. He was the first president of the Television Broadcasters Association and continues to serve that organization as a member of its board of directors. The Veteran Wireless Operators Association presented Dr. DuMont with the coveted Marconi Memorial Award of Achievement for pioneering work in the field of communications. The key station of his network in New York, WABD, was the first television station in the country to televise on a full daytime schedule. Dr. DuMont is a graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

M. W. Loewi Director
The growth of the DuMont network and the owning company, the Allen B. DuMont Laboratories, Inc., has been spark-plugged by Mortimer W. Loewi, director of the DuMont Television Network, since the firm's incorporation in 1935. Under Commander Loewi's leadership, the network pioneered daytime television and Teletranscriptions, a system of transcribing programs from the face of a cathode-ray tube. He has actively participated in all DuMont policy for the last fourteen years and is widely known in New York banking and investment circles, owning a seat on the N. Y. Stock Exchange. Commander Loewi was born in Urbana, Ohio, and then moved to Piqua, Ohio, where he attended grade school and high school. He studied art at the Pratt Institute and at the Art Students League in New York and in Paris at the Julian Academy.

Joining the Allen B. DuMont Laboratories in 1936, as their 16th employee, Leonard F. Cramer, vice-president, played a major role in DuMont's growth, and was responsible in large measure for their place of leadership in the field of television. Cramer was responsible to a great extent for acquainting engineers with the purposes and functions of oscillographs with the result that these instruments, almost unknown a few years ago, are now in general use. Working with all divisions of the Allen B. DuMont Laboratories, it was under his leadership that the network was formed. Cramer was born in Leonard f. Cramer Alden, N. Y., near Buffalo and has always been a sports Vice-President enthusiast, excelling at polo, golf and skeet shooting.
