Radio broadcast .. (1922-30)

RADIO BROADCAST ADVERTISER 615 South; probably poor distance West and Southwest. Apropos this new policy of the Journal's to include a radio weather report in its col- umns, the following letter comes to RADIO BROADCAST: Editor, RADIO BROADCAST, Doubleday, Page & Company, Garden City, New York. SIR: Since the first of December, 1926, the Mil- waukee Journal has been publishing a regular daily forecast of radio weather. The radio fore- cast is incorporated with the weather report printed on the first page of the daily and Sunday editions. The reports are based on analysis of the weather map and forecast after the method set forth in Mr. Eugene Van Cleef's article, "How a Low Barometer Affects Radio" and the sum- mary of Mr. Van Cleef's article of May 1925, both of which appeared in the December, 1926 RADIO BROADCAST. In the five days this service has been in effect (at the time of writing), the prognostications all have been fairly accurate. The Journal feels this to be of interest to you, for Mr. Van Cleef's article in your magazine led us to the action, and gives us the information upon which to base our forecasts. Needless to say, RADIO BROADCAST is the Bible of the Journal's radio department. Very truly yours, ANDREW HERTEL, Radio Editor. The Milwaukee Journal. Ware the Cut Rate Wholesaler radio retailers, we believe, realize the logic of obtaining their goods from legitimate jobbers or direct from the manufacturers. The "gyp" wholesaler, nevertheless, is still in the market with attractive propositions, tempt- ing discounts, and what not. THE MERWIN COMPANY RADIO LABORATORY BRANCH JENSEN, FLORIDA Editor, RADIO BROADCAST, Doubleday, Page & Company, Garden City, New York. SIR: I would like to see a paragraph in your maga- zine protesting against the activities of the cut rate wholesale houses as a warning to retailers who deal with them. They simply flood the country with cata- logues, and sell indiscriminately to private in- dividuals who slip around to the printer for letterheads and call themselves dealers. The legitimate dealer is misled by seeing some standard articles listed along with the trash then sends in an order and gets substitutes "of equally good value." His money is lost, for these unprincipled wholesalers make it im- possible to get your money back. It didn't cost us very much to learn this. When we hear of a new piece of apparatus we look for its advertisement in a reliable radio magazine, such as RADIO BROADCAST. If we find the advertisement we write the manufacturer to put us in touch with his distributor. We then play safe. If everybody would do this we would have less "gyp" wholesalers. We note with pleasure your recent attack on the storage battery situation. The stand you take is splendid. Very truly yours, W. HARVEY MERWIN. Norden-Hauck Super-10 AROUND THE WORLD WITH THE U. S.
