Radio Booklets
Aid to Amateurs
Principles Of Wireless Should
Be Learned First,
Say Experts.

Radio has taken Omaha like it has
taken every other city-by storm.
All seem to be enthuscd over the
game, but radio sets and equipment
are hard to get. Dealers merely
throw up their hands and say the
orders must wait until the manu-
i-facturers put. out more products.
The demand exceeds the supply. NO
relief is expected for at least three
months. Local dealers will take or
ders for sets and equipment but will
make no promises on delivery
though their forte is: First come,
first served"
With radio still an experimental
factor in the middle west, the ma
iority OF those interested in the
game will want instructive literature.
Experts say the best results are
obtained with the aid of instructive
booklets. With that in view, the
Redo editor OF The Bee recommends
that the amateur learn the principles
OF radio from The A. B. c. of
Radio" which can be purchased from
dealers in radio or from newsstands.
