Craze For Radio
Outfits Continues

OuVI2SS OORk C4ka SkSiC
No invention Of the last decade
has aroused SO much interest as the
radio, which continues to grow and
spread until it seems that nearly
everyone is making inquiries and
hopes to install a set at some fu-
ture date. Sending stations are
rapidly being established all over
the country and the radio user
now has programme to choose
from to suit every taste and whiln.
Just recently Clemson College has
completed plans for q sending sta
ton at that point which when
completed Will be in touch with the
various county agents who will be
supplied with receiving outfits. Sew
eral Of the nearby towns have re-
ceiving sets now, and while there
are only two in operation in Sum
ter at present it is expected there
will be & number more in the near
future. Mr.. J. G. Brown, local agent
for the Westinghouse outfits ad-
vises that he has been unable to
get new sets on account OF the
demand for them which the COM
pany is unable to fill and an order
which he placed last January has
not as yet been shipped. The craze
has taken the entire country by
storm and the companies manu-
featuring the sets have been unable
20 keep up with the demand. One
night this week Mr. Brown listen
ed in on 4 lecture and concert at
San Francisco which is the first
tinae he has been able TO get clear
connections this distance.
To give you some idea Of the
amount and variety Of the pro-
grammes the local user has to
choose from each week, we give
below the programme published
for next week by Westinghouse
