The different branches of the Radio and Music Trades Association of Southern California held meetings last month and selected the ir representatives to the board of directors.
The new directors for 1930-31 are: Jobbers — Harry A. Ungar and Fred Prentice; Music — E. A. Geissler and E. Palmer Tucker: Manufacturers' Agents — R. J. McNeely and Charles Weinberg; Radio Retailers — Mort Stuart and Frank W. Thomas: Broadcasters — Lewis Allen Weiss and Gerald L King.
Most of these men have been indefatigable workers in the Trades Association. They are thoroughly familiar with the activities and are going into their new work with great enthusiasm. We wish them all the luck in the world for the directors carry a tremendous burden on their shoulders.
The Collins-Lane Company, Southern California distributors for Bosch receivers, who were just appointed in this capacity during this season, are making headway steadily in their dealer organization.

Mr. Collins (right), head of the company, is very pleased with the progress made so far and is looking forward to a bigger turn-over next year.

Frank Davison just returned from the East a couple of weeks ago after making a complete survey of the Eastern and Middle Western markets and he reports that the Midgets are just coming into their own in these territories and they are looking forward to a greater distribution in this territory during the coming season.
Charles Walter is the Southern California representative for the company. He has just appointed several large accounts which have added considerably to the production schedule. Robert Haynes, head of the company, is now on a trip North and will visit all the principal cities in the West. * * *
A. B. Ayers, general sales manager, and R. U. Clark, sales engineer, of the Sprague Specialties Company, spent the first ten days of November in Los Angeles visiting the general trade and set manufacturers with Dave Marshank, their Southern California representative.
Mr. Ayers reports that due to the activity of the East
ern manufacturers and especially the Los Angeles Midget manufacturers, they have had to double their force in order to supply the demand for their products. He believes that the radio industry has passed over the hard spots and can now look forward to another era of prosperity.
