GET YOUR PROFIT— OR GET OUT OF THE RADIO BUSINESS!"
Above is the curt advice of many a hard-thinking radio business man, faced with present conditions in radio.
"Get your full retail price— get your profit on what you sell. Or get out of the radio business, and stop making it impossible for those who observe sound business practices to stay in business."
Radio merchandise is now in demand as never before.
Supplies of merchandise are limited.
So it follows that —
This is a time to clean up past practices of price-cutting.
This is a time to go slow on trade-in offers.
This is a time to get the full retail price.

"Get your full retail profit." Or — soon you will be out of the radio business!
Get your full retail price!
