"Realizing that the radio would necessarily mean a close association in industry with the phonograph," a letter to stockholders says, "we last year entered into a very favorable agreement with the Radio Corp. of America to market their radio receiving sets' in combination with the Brunswick phonograph, under the trade name of 'Brunswick Radiola.' "The resources and patents, together with the laboratories of the Radio Corp. of America and its affiliated institutions that make up the engineering policies of the Radio Corp., greatly simplify for us the future outlook for improvements and developments in this field. This friendly relationship between the Radio Corp. and our company should necessarily react to the advantage of our stockholders." Gordon G. Sleeper on Vacation in Europe Gordon C. Sleeper, president of the Sleeper Radio Corp., Long Island City, accompanied by Mrs. Sleeper, sailed recently on board the S. S.

Mr. Sleeper will devote considerable of his time to the investigation of conditions in France, England and Germany relative to the manufacture, patents and recent inventions in the radio field.
