M. JONES Mercury Radio Products Co. Foremost in the mind of every dealer and jobber is the question of fall business. Previous to May i, 167 licenses for broadcasting were issued, and this number will be greatly augmented by September. These figures make plausible the estimate that onehalf of our entire population will soon be within close range of a broadcasting station. With these facts in mind, coupled with the knowledge that the public interest has not lagged, it does not require a great deal of foresight to predict that the close of warm weather will bring Radio interest up to fever pitch throughout the country. The nature of this larger demand will differ, however, in that the phenomenal growth of the Radio business has arrived at a point where it is ready to be placed on a sound commercial basis. Therefore, the stability of wireless broadcasting will be in great part due to the manner in which the dealer satisfies his customers now. Much has been said from a technical standpoint, but let us leave out the phrases that the average radio fan pretends to understand, but doesn't, and consider the situation from a commercial angle. The controlling factors, roughly are, first, the quality and type of broadcasting. Second, the quality and cost of reception. Considering the first, it is not an exaggeration to say that each month produces tremendous strides towards perfection in transmitting and it is also becoming apparent to many that broadcasting wili be an essential in the business world as well as an after-dinner aid to digestion. The time is not far off when the farmer, particularly, will not afford to be without a receiving outfit. The second factor presents the problems with which the dealer is more closely concerned. Regardless of the individual's desires in the matter of Radio sets, there comes a point when the buying limit is reached. The dealer who can approximate that limit and concentrate on articles in the same price class will naturally receive the greatest volume of business. As in most other fields, is it not reasonable to assume that the bulk of business in wireless sets and instruments will be done in medium price articles rather than the very cheap or overpriced goods? Tn the first place, more crystal sets of the better grades should be sold in The Little Wonder MAGAFONE Lond Speaker. The only cabinet Loud Speaker sold — Better than any horn.
