BABSON SAYS RADIO INDUSTRY

Collapse of Many Stocks Due to Competition Brought

dill make a lot of money at the start.
Statistics show that the manufacture
of receiving sets was exceedingly
profitable in the early days.
The industry was a self-advertis-
ing industry, hence it had to spend
no money in interesting people and in
getting a foothold. The demand for
receiving sets exceeded the supply,
and ii was unnecessary to spend any
money on selling. Even price was
more or less insignificant. The sets
were sold at huge profit. These great
profits, however, brought on their
own punishment.
Any industry which offers great
profits in proportion to the risk in
evitably brings on itself a period of
very severe competition. Gradually
the supply of receiving sets is exceed
ing the demand. This means that
the radio companies are now forced
to spend more money on advertising
selling and for other expenses than
they did before.
Repeat Business Is Factor.

much more stable business than the
manufacture of electrical apparatus,
for which one makes only one sale.
Hence, the radio message business
was founded on a right principle. and
some day patient investors in the
stock Of the Radio Corporation will be
richly rewarded.
The sale of receiving sets, however,
is not a repeat business any more
than is the furniture business or the
electric fixture business. 1t does not
even compare with the photograph
business, because the photograph peo-
pie are able to sell records each month,
and it Is these records that really
made profits for them. OF course, 1t Is
necessary to buy new tubes once in a
while, and as sets are being improved
those who can afford to do 50 buy the
newer sets as they come out. The fact
that the sale of sets is not a repeat
business brings the present dullness
In the industry, with the decline in
profits and securities.
Lessons for Every Business Man.
What has happened in the radio in
business man, whatever his line of
work The same principles apply to
every industry. All new industries
have gone through these same stages
and all new industries will go up and
down correspondingly. Every lane has
it's turning. The wheels of oppor
tunity revolve slowly. but are always
revolving. The business which today
has the largest profits will tomorrow
face the greatest competition and next
day have the smallest profits of all.
Conversely, the business which today
has the smallest profits will tomorrow
have the least competition and the
day after may have the greatest
profits.
The time to save money is when
you are making it. The good old days
never last any more than hard times
ever last. Hence, the Importance of
studying fundamental conditions and
watching the great tidal movements

BY ROGER w. BABSON.

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass, De-
cemher 19.-When discussing radio, 1t
should be remembered that there are
two distinct divisions to the industry.
The first division-that for which 1t
was originally Started-WaS to carry
wireless messages. The first CONNER
Cial use was to transmit messages
from one ship to another ana from
ships to land. The business was
founded and grew on this sole pur-
pose. Gradually radio WA used to
transmit messages across the land as
we'll as across the ocean. Finally great
sending sets were erected in America.
Europe and even Japan. The Radio
Corporation Of America was founded
primarily. ii not exclusively, 20 trans
init MESA geS.
Before the Radio Corporation was
i0rmed various small independent
companies were carrying on iudepend-
ent business. The United Fruit Co. had
valuable patents as we'll as did the
General Electric ana Westinghouse.
All of these were pooled together
when the Radio Corporation OF Amer
lea was formed. the purpose being to
stop destructive competition, useless
fighting with one another over patents
and to use the combined resources TO
rect great superpower sending sta
IollS throughout ilt WI III anu NiitS
give efficient radio service.
New Industry Develops.
This great corporation had hardly
been formed when radio broadcaStlng
started. Even at the first, the ON
cials OF the Radio Corporation looked
upon the selling OF home receiving
sets as merely a by-product and eX-
peCted to pay dividends on their stock
from the message business alone.
They were taken by surprise. The
interest in radio swept this country
like a great tidal wave. The demand
or receiving sets exceeded the most
optimistic prophecies. Manufacturers
We're unable to supply orders. Almost
overnight a great new industry tie
veloped in this country, which Is at
racting as much attention as the
moving picture industry or the auto
mobile industry.
Instead of the manufacture of re-
ceiving sets being a by-product. 1t
necame the big end of the business,
md the original purpose of the radio
industry was submerged and has
been almost forgotten. This is q very
interesting illustration of the great
hangeS in business which come onto
the country unheralded, and which
IRE anticipated only by a few careful
students. Moreover. we must not
forCet that something else may hap
nen during the next few years which
will be as revolutionary as the radio
Growth Has Been Too Rapid.
In January !, 1922, there We're only
tx radio companies of any importance.
Today there are about 600 companies,
producing sets and supplies, each do
ing a large business. In January.

Outlook for Radio Industry.
The radio industry is all right. 1t
is now going through the same ad-
justment that the automobile industry
so many new companies went into
receivership and even the General
Motors Co. was forced to re-
organize. Many companies will now
be forced out of business; other COM
panies will be consolidated while
others will reorganize. Gradually the
sending of MESA ges will increase and
be the great source of income for the
Radio Corporation of America. The
radio industry is all right for the long
pull. but Jusl now il is suffering from
keen competition and the present
period must be followed by a general
house cleaning, after which the sur
viying companies will make a lot of
money.
OF course, certain improvements
and new inventions may develop in
radio and thus give It another great
squirt. The most likely of these is the
development Of vision broadcasting.
That is. the broadcasting OF moving
pictures.
Great Changes Still to Come.
When in Washington few weeks
ago, I visited the Jenkins laboratories
and saw the movements of a windmill
actually broadca sted and transmitted
by radio. These were picked up and
shown on a screen. 1t is just as posi-
Bile to broadcast moving pictures as it
is the voice. The Radio Corporation
of America is working on a still diff
ferent method from the Jenkins
method to bring about the same re
suits.
Without doubt, radio vision broad
casting will some day be an accom-
plished fact and we can read the
morning paper on a screen at our
breakfast table, the same as We now
hear our evening music on the loud
speaker in our library. Furthermore,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1925-12-19

there are other radio inventions which
are being worked out which are even
more interesting than the broadcast
ing of moving pictures.
