Mahanay Now With Kolster Radio Editor Will Establish a Market Research Division of Kolster Radio Corp. — Is Widely Experienced Stuart C. Mahanay, radio editor of the Curtis Publishing Co., has increased his field of activity by joining the Kolster Radio Corp. of Newark, N. J., to establish a market research division under the direction of Major Herbert H. Frost, vice-president in charge of merchandising. He has just left New York for an extended survey along the Pacific Coast. Kolster is one of the first, if not the pioneer radio manufacturer, to establish a department for the purpose of making a national survey of the electric and battery set market. The* information gathered by this new division will be of great value not only to the company in estimating production, but to Kolster jobbers and dealers as well. Past radio experience has ably fitted Mr. Mahanay for the work he has undertaken. He built and operated one of the first amateur radio stations in St. Louis. In 1917 he enlisted in the Signal Corps where he did notable work. When broadcasting came into popularity, Mr. Mahanay, who holds a Government commercial radio operator's license, was active in the establishment and operation of station KSD in St. Louis. In addition to operating and announcing he was for more than two years in charge of the radio department of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which position he resigned to become associated with the Curtis Publishing Co. in Philadelphia as radio editor. In this capacity he has carried on extensive research work for the publishing company, which has given him valuable experience to guide him in carrying on his work with Kolster. When fhe National Association of Radio Writers was formed in Washington at the Hoover Radio Conference in 1925, Mr. Mahanay was elected treasurer, to which office he has been re-elected each succeeding year.

W. de Haas, Fada radio export representative, who has just returned from South Africa, found that region excellent as a radio market capable of great expansion.

Mr. de Haas spent four months in making radio trade investigations and establishing connections on his trip, during which he traveled over 20,000 miles.
