Roy S. Dunn Appointed to Important Splitdorf Post
Popular Executive Is Now Western Sales Manager of Splitdorf Radio Corp. — Hal P. Shearer Discusses the Business Outlook.
Hal P. Shearer, general manager of the Splitdorf Radio Corp., Newark, N. J., has announced the appointment of Roy S. Dunn as Western
cured an extensive knowledge of radio merchandising. On January 1, 1927, he joined the Brinkerhoff Piano Co. of Chicago as sales manager, and it was from this organization that Mr. Dunn resigned to become associated with Splitdorf.
The appointment of Roy Dunn to cover the Western division of Splitdorf's activities is in line with Mr. Shearer's conviction that the music industry is going to "take up" radio on a scale hitherto undreamed of even by the most ardent advocates of the music store as the most logical outlet. Mr. Shearer has devoted himself to special analysis of the situation from a countrywide angle and states that the hour has struck for the music dealer to push radio to the limit.
"It is not my idea that just because we manufacturers want as many good outlets as possible to handle radio that I am primarily interested in the music store," said Mr. Shearer announcing Mr. Dunn's appointment. "Having been a piano man myself I realize fully the problems of the music store. The time has come when the music store can make real money out of radio."

radio sales manager handling all radio sales for that company in the North Central States. Roy Dunn, as he is familiarly known, has been identified with the wholesale piano business for 18 years. During that period he gained a tremendous amount of goodwill and a wide circle of acquaintances in the Western territory.

Philadelphia, Pa., February 6.— The Enterprise Mfg. Co., of this city, which recently was granted an RCA license, has engaged in the production of a complete kit of adapters, harness and transformers designed to convert battery radio sets to AC operation. The Enterprise Mfg. Co. is an old established hardware manufacturing house and has well equipped manufacturing facilities and an established sales organization.
Commenting upon the three new models of Fada radio receivers using alternating current tubes, F. A. D. Andrea, president of F. A. D. Andrea, Inc., states that these new sets are the result of two years of laboratory work behind closed doors.
"The so-called electric receiver is by no means a novelty with Fada radio," said Mr. Andrea. "As far back as January, 1926, we had built a laboratory model for the now well-known Fada Eight, and that was an all-electric job. But we were not ready then, nor did we become ready until now to market apparatus of this type. The two-year period between the building of the first all-electric receiver by Fada engineers and the entering into production of our latest models has been occupied with much study, research, testing and development work to the end that the product might be, in trade vernacular, right. In announcing the Fada AC Seven table, the Fada AC Seven console, and the Fada AC Special, we believe we are offering receivers that not only require an absolute minimum of service, but live up fully to the standards set in our receivers through which harmonated reception was given to the world."
