Emerson Ready with 1942 Radios In a series of meetings held in key points throughout the country for distributors, the Emerson Radio & Phonograph Corp., Ill Eighth Ave., New York City, has introduced an improved and varied line of 1942 models, and has pledged all-out efforts to keep jobbers' requirements amply supplied — within the limits of fullest cooperation in National Defense. Ben Abrams, Emerson president, speaking at the New York meeting, reported "great progress" already made in substitute materials. Other officials on the program included Max Abrams, vice-president; Charles Robbins, sales manager; Phil Gillig, sales promotion manager; and Dorman Israel, chief engineer. Advance presentation of 1942 sets includes 46 models, of which 24 are table models; 10 Phonoradios (combination radio-and-phonographs including table models, consoles and automatics); an electric phonograph; wireless record players; 8 "3-way" portables; 2 "personals" — one "the world's smallest and lightest." Another series of meetings will be held later to show the remainder of the Emerson jobs. Brunswick Radio to Bigger Quarters New and enlarged offices have been occupied by the Brunswick Radio & Television Division of Mersman Bros. Corp., at 244 Madison Ave., New York City. Herbert L. Weisburgh, Brunswick sales director, cites "continued growth of the company" as the reason for the move. The 1942 lines of the firm will be shown shortly in all key cities of the country, as well as at the Music Show July 29-Aug. 1 at the Hotel New Yorker in New York City. The new units are custom designed jobs with many new features. Cabinets will be authentic reproductions of traditional furniture.
