AN ODE TO THE JALLOPE
By William Marshan\
There's a land 'way out there — have you seen it?
Where the mountains kiss the sea, And the climate you can't heat it,
Just the place for you and me.
There's a land 'nay out there — have you seen it?
It's called the Golden West, Where a ten dollar bill will purchase A coat, two pair of pants and a vest.
David and William Mdrshan\
On th< shores of the mighty Pacific,
Where the waves come rolling in, The tune of a million midgets
Helps to swell the din.
It's the land of sunshine and poppies
That grow wild in the fields, It's the home of Radio Jallopies,
A million per day it yields.
//' the land of the Tiffany model,
Radiette and the Mission Bell, And up on a hill not far from a still,
Stands the mighty Jackson Hell.
It's a land of great opportunity,
And a dollar a long way can go, if you spend it best And do like the rest
And manufacture radio.
You don't have to get nervous and fidget And worry about supply and demand,
Just manufacture a midget
And everything will be grand.
Just get yourself some wire,
A coil, a condensor or two, And put them all together —
That's all you have to do.
There's a land 'way out there — have you seen it?
It calls to each son of man, Where is the beginning,
And where will it end?
Midgets of every description,
Some white, some black, some red, And when they all broadcast,
It's enough to wake the dead. They vie with each other for honors,
To reach the production peak, It's no place for the weakling,
The halt, the lame or the meek. 'The pace that they set will get you,
And crush you through and through, For the law of the land of the
Midget can shozv you what to do.
So don't you worry and fidget
If you haven't any dough, Just go to the land of the midget
And manufacture radio. There's a land 'way out there — have you seen it?
It's the cussed est land that I know,
Where they build the elusive Jallope
In the name of radio.

Philco-Ensenada Trip
Ensenada, in Old Mexico, was the setting for one of the most unique radio conventions ever held in the southwest.
Culminating a ten weeks sales contest, about three hundred Philco radio dealers and salesmen, factory officials and radio newspapermen, on the week-end of November 21st and 22nd, were guests of the H. R. Curtiss Company, Philco distributors for Southern California. They gathered aboard the steamship "Ruth Alexander" for a cruise to Ensenada on a three-day convention, providing an opportunity to hold the regular dealer meeting and allowing time for pleasure. Needless to say the trip was a huge success. Claude Foote, Los Angeles manager, presented the sale contest prizes.
