Clarion Has New Line, New Selling Plan Warwick Mfg. Corp., Chicago, owners of Clarion Radio, are now announcing a new merchandising plan for a new line of Clarion midgets, portables and farm sets. According to Warwick general sales manager Robert Shellow, "the company has been marking time with the Clarion product until an appropriate moment and the right kind of sales plan could be combined to put the line back on the map in a big way." In connection with the aggressive reintroduction of the Clarion line, Mr. Shellow points out that over a million dollars had been previously spent in publicizing the name; that the firm had always enjoyed a "clean" reputation; and that Clarion had consistently maintained a "no-dumping" policy. Extensive work has been done to develop radio designs "perfectly in tune with the modern trend," with emphasis on attractive cabinetry and mechanical precision. Mr. Shellow declares that "we feel that when dealers and distributors learn the details of what Clarion has to offer, they will agree that our plans for merchandising are as refreshingly new and 'different' as the sets themselves."
