Liberal discounts. Rogers Radio Co. 5133 Woodworth St. Pittsburg, Pa. NEW MAGNET WIRE Antenna wire made up of fine hard drawn copper enameled wires twisted together is made by the American Enameled Magnet Wire Company of Muskegon, Michigan, under the trade name of American Enamleled Litz Antenna Wire. It is said to have a very low resistance to high frequency currents, furnishing great conducting capacity. The enameling prevents corrosion, thus resistance does not increase rapidly shortly after installation, as is the case with bare copper. American Enameled Litz Antenna wire is similar to " Litzendraht " magnet wire used in coils of the United States Navy instruments. f— • for three years We have been engaged exi clusively in the manufacture of high grade radio apparatus.

MICHIGAN > > Out with the Fakers {Continued from page 22) promotions are likewise being handled from the down-town section of New York. Not all of the Wall Street flotations are bunk — but taking the total of the recently incorporated radio companies, one wonders at the total. The billion mark is in sight for radio incorporations. Most of the radio stock is being sold via salesmen, rather than by newspaper advertising — because many of the States have sensible laws anent advertising fake stocks. This is the time to circumvent the fakers and it can be done if the honest men in the industry will devote a little time and thought to the matter. Every time you receive a " radio stock circular " and are dubious about its promises lodge an inquiry with the Post Office Department at Washington. This department will investigate. If it's a local firm pass on the query to your district attorney or police department. This will often bring results. If you see a promotion advertised in a newspaper or magazine ask the publisher to approve of the stock. If he refuses go right ahead and complain to the post office or to the district attorney. Nip the money-suckers in the bud and every one in the radio industry will be benefited. It might be possible to broadcast talks against fake stock promotions. This would be an unusual way to protect the people, of course, and while the broadcasting folks wouldn't care to " mention names " a daily warning on not buying radio promotion stocks would be of good service. These broadcasting stations ought to advertise their hearers to consult their bankers before buying radio company stocks. Honest concerns will not fear scrutiny— the others have no right to exist. Meanwhile, let each one of us do something to thwart the fake radio stock promoters. Let us do it as individuals, until such time as the radio industry has a strong national body to fight its battles. Show no compassion, radio tradesmen, to the fake stock promoters. They deserve only extinction and we can all do our share to rid the land of these sharpers. TYPE A Capacity 2 amps. Total Res. 12 ohms.
