attempt to make the radio test pro-

And here is how they are going to
cooperate.

radio bug" just talk to few battery
dealers. You will come away with
the feeling that you can't do without
radio set. Most of the battery deal
crs have radio sets and practically all
OF them charge radio batteries.
So practically every dealer came
back with rapid fire talk expressing
his approval of radio week and The
Lights plans to make it success.
You bet Wen cooperate. If we
can do anything else to put the tests
over big, just let us know" said ii. w.

when they were asked to cooperate
but they show clearly just how the
