GROWTH OF RADIO INDUSTRY
Between TWO and Three Million Fans
Have Bought and Installed
Receiving sets.

"A little more than a year ago many
of the old established manufacturer
OF radio apparatus were wondering
how they would dispose of their stock.
Many dealers were just making a bare
living at selling radio apparatus. Just
about 100000 radio amateurs scattered
throughout the United States consti.
tuted the field for sales OF radio goods
and apparatus.
Since then q great change has taken
place. Radio has come upon the coun-
try rs a tide. Old apparatus. instru-
ments manufactured under patents is
years old. ordinary double slide crys-
tai detector sets were becoming I'M
mensely popular.
II is said that there are almost 600
Incorporated manufacturers of radio
apparatus in the United States today.
1t Is impossible to estimate the num-
Der of dealers. There are some two
or three million fans who have bought
and suHtalled Fasso ~Fees0ss seazls
These sets receive music and other
broadcast matter from some 500 or
more broadcasting stations located In
every state In the Union. Every state
but one has M or more stations, and
some states have as many al 20.
With the establishment of more
solid radio regulations. with the adj
vent OF fair competition and lntelli-
gent manufacture OF radio apparatus
of good design the infant radio baby
