lGentlemen:
] thought you might be interested
to learn that during a To-day trip
through southern idaho, interviewing
many dealers in radio apparatus, l
heard more favorable mention about
Great Falls broadcasting than any
other place.
My interest in the matter comes
from the fact that this company has
been appointed distributor for the Ra-
do Corporation of America.
Very truly yours.

Dear Sir:
Thanks for information contained in
Your letter of the 3rd inst.
We have been getting" you almost
every evening, and your last Saturday
nights program was exceptionally fine.
There seems TO be less static inter
ference with your broadcasting than
any other point we have been able 10
reach and no doubt il will be even bet
ter when we have cooler weather.
Since we now know when to listen
for you. we anticipate interesting
Wednesday evenings and Sunday after
moons.
Yours very truly.

Dear Sirs:
This little town in which ] live is
900 miles from Great Falls. You GER
tainly have some station and also a
very able operator. When we heard
you it was about II o'clock to IL
O'Clock last night Thursday. We
could hear every word in all of the an
nouncements given by the operator and
the music came in very distinctly. If
it is not too much trouble. would you
please send us a schedule Of your con-
certs? Last Saturday night about half
past eleven we picked up a station from
which the music came in fairly plain
and in the announcements. that is the
call letters. We would get X. ID. and
the rest was either blurred out or
faded away. Were you broadcasting
at that time? In one of your concerts
of the near future. would il be too
much trouble for you to include THE
Sunshine of Your Smile sung by John
Mccormack. We enjoyed that num-
Der last night. Thank you for the
concert of last night and the concerts
10 come.
Ny set is a Colin r. Kennedy oSS1
receiver without amplification.
Yours truly.

Gentlemen:
1t might interest you to know that
your radio music has been and is very
much appreciated, especially your pro-
gram of evening July 3, which came
in so clear and distinct that when Alma
Gluck sang the Cradle Song" and later
Caruso's voice pealed forth. ! walked
out on the front lawn and every word
could be heard a distance of over 500
feet. taking into consideration that the
radio instrument was in the house and
an ordinary Magnavox is being used.
McCormack's Dear Old Pal of Mine
came in sweet and clear as well as
phone number by Weidoff came in fine
and so did the numbers of orchestra
music by International. a fox trot and
that of the Jones Orchestra. Have
listened to you for half an hour tonight
and the Hawaiian number came in Just
great. but about 9 o'clock, Pacific coast
time. Los Angeles. or rather the Avalon
public telephone conversation. came in
so strong that it tuned you out and
could not get you in again.
Naches is a small town located II
miles northwest of Yakima, Wash. and
your being located east of the Rockies
and also considerable distance from
here. thought that it might please you
to know that others besides nearby
points are listening in ION you"
Static is usually very bad on these
hot days. but last Monday evening all
your numbers came in clear of prac-
practically our limit.
Have never been able as yet to get
Spokane. though heard Denver very
clearly one night. though as a rule,
Yakima. Seattle. Portland. San Fran
cisco, or rather, Los Altos, near San
Jose. and Avalon, Cataline Islands. is
practically our Init.
Shall listen for your hello next
week if at home and enjoy your good
program for which we thank YOU.
Yours for continued Improvement in
the radio service, | am.
Sincerely.
