Wireless Art


 A broad and advantageous charter has been issued for the biggest wire less institution ever formed. Under the name of the Continental Wireless Telephone and Telegraph Company, planning a general wireless business and with the intention of expanding the operations of practical working companies. it will establish practical coast to coast wireless transmission Of intelligence. The companies mutual izing their interests in the Continental are the Clark Wireless Telegraph-Tele- phone O., operating on the Great Lakes and in the Middle West; the Pa Far West: the Massie Wireless Tele- graph Co.,, operating in New England and on the East Atlantic coast. and the Collins Wireless Telephone Co.. of Newark, N. J. These companies. it is believed, form the only combination that could possibly make coast to coast wireless transmission practical. The officers of the management include Thomas D. Clark of Detroit, general manager: Walter w. Massie of Provi- Frederick Collins. inventor of the wire less telephone, in the technical force. It is capitalized at $5.000000.
 Stations already built, many of which have been and are now working. are located at Buffalo. Cleveland. De-  Alpena and Ashtabula. These are now being operated by the Clark Company. The Pacific Company's stations work ing or ready to work are New York city, Philadelphia. Chicago. Milwaukee. Los Angeles, San Francisco. Oakland, Seattle, Port Townsand. Fort Casey, Friday Harbor, and Victoria, B. c. Land stations of the Massie Wireless Telegraph Co. are in practical use and the Massie Equipment is installed on H1fx New Hampshire.

 From the facts advanced there is nothing visionary about the Conti- mental because it assumes the manage ment of the wireless business of these various companies now being success fully conducted in various parts of the United States. For long a. general company with facilities for coast to coast transference has been hera1ded and the combination is now made, bus mess being conducted right along by each individual company under the general management of the combined wireless engineering talent of the Con- t1nentaPs component parts. It is fore told that, in time. it will be cheaper to communicate by wireless than to use the mail or wires. As to rates from the low cost of installation. mak- ing it possible for any town in the country, no matter how poor, to have it's own wireless telegra ph- telephone station, the Continental announces that it will materialize former prognosti- cations of scientists that wireless ser ivce will be general and that the cost of transmission will be one-third or less than the cost of transmission by wire companies. The recent merger of the wire companies and their reduc- ton in rates is believed to be due to the advance of wireless. 'This is the biggest shortcut in progress that has ever taken place." said General Mana ger Clark. "We have absolutely the lest wireless experts in the country, men who are pioneers in the art and who bring to this company the results Of ten years of expense in inveStiga- ton and experiment, with all their perfected mechanisms and who per- sonally will supervise operation. It would not be possible for any other company or combination to accomplish the results this consolidation makes possible. Attention first is to be given to the United States and every energy will be bent to project general service and practicalZe coast to coast trans mission. We will have general wireless business, including telegraph and telephone and mechanism manu- featuring, which will include the fa- nous Sanchez induction coil. Imme- diately following esta tablishment of American service wireless transmits sion to and in Canada. Mexico. Gen. tral and South America. Honolulu, China, Japan. India, other portions of Asia. in Australia, Africa and Europe will be pushed as rapidly as practic- able Benefitting by the experience of other companies and the great sums of money expended in wireless uD to now the Continental will be able to save the great cost of experiments, exploitation and financing and accom- plish results with relatively small cap- ital."
