What Radio Is Doing For Me LaFayette, Ind. April 26th, 1922. Editor, Radio Broadcast, New York City. Dear Sir: 1 am enclosing a photo of myself using a radio receiving set. By way of introduction wish to say that I am a bedfast shut-in whose life has been greatly brightened by the wireless. From the leading stations 1 am able to bring to my bedside the best of talent. My outfit consists of a three-tube set and a loud speaker. Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Pittsburg, Newark, Schenectady, and many other places 1 hear regularly. Often the sounds are so loud as to flood the room with music and voice. I have purchased my radio with my own earnings. In 19 18 1 opened a magazine subscription business in this city. In four years 1 have built a good business. Last December I handled twelve thousand letters. I declare that my radio is an investment! As a means of creating a wide circle of friends it is invaluable. My room is the most popular place in the community. 1 have used it as an excuse to invite in folks with whom 1 have long wanted to get better acquainted. The new friends 1 have enlisted by use of my radio mean more business for me. In a very short time I honestly believe that a wireless telephone will be as cofnmon in the home, and especially in any room where there is sickness, as the electric fan and other conveniences. Hospitals are installing radio to facilitate recovery among the sick. Having listened in to daily entertainments, 1 declare myself less susceptible to fatigue, more alive to everything, and a more contented person. Radio has done for me what medical science failed to do. Very Sincerely, A. J. DeLong. A .J. DeLong, LaFayette, Indiana.
