Fair Crowds at New
York Radio Show
Seventy-first Regiment Armory Scene of Latest Show of Radio Apparatus
Fair crowds were in attendance at the Radio Show, held in the Seventy-first Regiment Armory in New York City the week of May 22nd. Up to this writing (Friday) the house was never overcrowded, altho every one expected a record-breaking crowd for the last day.
The armory hall adapted itself nicely to the purposes of the show, the wider passageways between the booths permitting handling of considerably larger crowds than at shows held elsewhere. The booths, as a whole were tastefully decorated, altho there were few that showed more than casual effort at decoration. The booth of the Radisco Company of Newark, illustrated in this issue, was the most striking, and one of the few that could be considered out of the ordinary.
About one hundred booths were occupied,
several being used by two or three firms. Exhibitors reported as being fairly well satisfied with the results obtained by the show, tho no startling rush of business or inquiries was reported. The Radio Corporation of America contented themselves with tastefully furnishing their booth as a resting room with many comfortable chairs scattered about. A goodly crowd gathered around the Freed-Eiseman booth, where their new high-priced set was displayed, while more or less attention was given the other displays, largely gauged by the ability of those in the stands.
Director Buchigani in a statement to the Radio Dealer announced that the show would be repeated next year and that new and novel ideas could be expected. It was not announced that reservations had already been made for space however.
Several contests and prize competitions for amateurs were held, while two or three retail dealers held forth, making sales from stock carried in their booths. As a rule the exhibitors contented themselves with handing out literature and talking things over with the visiting dealers and distributors.
It is hardly probable there will be another attempt at a show of similar character in New York for several months, if the feeling evident among the trade can be taken as a guide.
HERE & THERE
Colgate & Co. recently advertised a Radio Lecture on Care of the Teeth " by an eminent lecturer for the Department of Education, New York, Via WJZ, at 7 =30 p. m.
" It is a coincidence that the Colgate band will play at 8 p. m."
So read the adv. Coincidence !
Some advertising stunt, say we — quite clever.
The daily newspapers still " feature " famous folks at receiving sets, getting long distance messages, via wireless and tubeless sets.
Some of the newspapers also feature " Questions and Answers," obviously looked after by radio fans whose enthusiasm is far in excess of their knowledge.
But can they expect much at 50 cents per column !
Some of these days some " wise bird " is going to produce " an amplyfying crystal set." Let's go.
