RADIO SERVICE IS
A NECESSITY HERE

Henry lttig, residing near Olive, Is
a radio enthusiast, and when in town
the latter part of the week endorsed
such a project for the county seat,
declaring that wireless telephoning
has now advanced beyond the experi-
mental stage and when brought into
commercial use in Powder River coun-
ty will prove a boon to ali, bringing
them into contact with metropolitan
centers that they might hear concerts.
sermons. speeches. lectures. etc.
Mr.. lttiE has closely been watching
the progress CT wireless telephony and
had in his possession a recent cory Of
the New York Times that carried ar
could be received by radio service.
Radio will do much fer people of
TINS country. asserted lttig FOR it
viii disPel our feelings of Isolation
caused by our remoteness from the
railroad. If We are able to get a
Belle Fourche or Sheridan, it will be
possible for every farm and ranch
house in the county to listen in with
amateur instruments costing around
S25 each; \ receiving outfit such that
would be serviceable fer Broadus
would cost approximately 800 and a
transmitting outfit costs more, prob
ably as high as $500 but believe such
an expenditure would be worth the in
vestment and I will contribute to It. ;"

Sc nave these machines in stock. 20
haf we can make almost immediate
shipment from here upon receipt Of an
order from you.
To assist in presenting this PROPOSE
ton before the council in proper
form, We are enclosing with this let
ter quotation forms in triplicate and
il will only be necessary for someone
authorized TO make purchases for your
city, such as the Mayor, City Clerk, or
Chairman Of the Finance Committee TO
sign two Of these copies and return
them to us and shipment will be made
at once, as we have all of the machines
listed in stock for immediate ship
ment from Chicago.
We would be very glad to ship your
city any Of our machines with the un-
derstanding that if they were not ac-
cepted after a 80 day trial period after
date of arrival, that we would take
them back, providing your city will
pay transportation charges back to
our factory on the machine.
One Of the greatest advantages Of
the Federal Siren is that 1t gives out
peculiar penetrating tone which isl
entirely different from the ordinary
type of sgnal II is sound that is
universally recognized as fire call.
Once heard, it will never be forgotten.
1t cannot be confused with vibratory
type of signals, such as are ordinarily
used on automobiles and the like.
This double head siren has sound
penetration radius, which we will
guarantee for a distance of one and
one-half to two miles under all ordinary
weather conditions. By ordinary, we
mean against a wind Of from 10 to ID
miles an hour and through rain, snow,
sleet or fog.
Aother point which the writer wants
to bring clearly to you is that the
high quality, which has always been
by the Federal Electric
Company has not been sacrificed be-
cause of the lower price. The machine
which we are offering now is exactly
the same as it was in June, 1921. In
other words, we have not sacrificed
one iota of quality or workmanship to
reduce this selling price.
Our selling price is based entirely
on actual cost of material and labor
and because raw materials have de-
creased considerably in the past year,
we have been able to decrease our sell
ing price the same amount, or in pro-
portion.
We also are sending you under sep
arate cover booklet of testimonial
etters which we received from salts
led users, and call your attention par
.icularly to the little two-page folder
entitled, "A Few Municipalities Using
he Federal Siren" You will find
listed here just few Of the many
owns that we have sold.
Sincerely hope that when this ques-
ion comes up before your council that !
We shall hear favorably from you.
Thanking you for your letter and
waiting your further favors, we re-
main
Yours truly, ,
