46 Radio Doings IMEICTRAHE May 24 mm H. E. Howard, of the Waltham Radio Corporation, makers of the Waltham Midget, is one of the local pioneers in the low priced radio field. He was one of the founders of the Master Ra dio Company, to gether with Messrs Davidson and Reed several years ago Mr. Howard now heads his own com pany, and has as sociated with him Mr. H. C. Block, vice-president. The Waltham Company has entered the midget field with a high grade product. It is a seven-tube, screen-grid, push-pull, dynamic speaker job of exceptional merit. Long years of experience in low cost operation has enabled Mr. Howard to include all of the technical features of modern radio and yet market the set in the midget price class. Robert E. Hopkins & Company of 417 South Hill street, Los Angeles, who have been in the radio financing business for a long time, have just announced that they are in a position to finance for the dealers the popular midget receivers, which are sold retail at $59.50 and $69.50. Mr. Hopkins extends an invitation to all Southern California dealers who have been unable to get satisfactory finance arrangements on this class of receivers to either write or phone him for particulars. The new LT. S. Automobile Radio set, which is distributed in Southern California by the Yale Radio Electric Company, 1111 Wall street, Los Angeles, is an innovation in that it will follow the rest of the company's radio line by being sold complete with tubes at a remarkably low price. These automobile sets have been tested under all kinds of conditions in actual road tests. Most rigid tests have been given them, the same as is done on automobile "proving grounds" throughout the country. The automobile radio set is just now coming into its own.
