1876 Factories Make
New Annual Record

One hundred eighty-six new fac
tories were established in the state
of Washington during 1926 and a new
record of gains was made. This being
the largest number reported in any
one year since the state started upon
its period of Industrial expansion in
1900, the increase from that year to
1910 was 1,74S factories, or at the rate
of It's factories per annum. The next
best year was in 1925 when 1T new
ones were established.
After making proper corrections for
all losses and changes there are, at
the close of the year, 5,513 active fac
tories in the state. If the average
number of persons engaged in manu-
featuring prevails now in the state as
it did during 1919 after 10000 have
been deducted for the ship building
industry, then those 1856 new plants
furnished jobs for 4,400 people. On
the same basis the total value of
manufactured products during the
year amounted to $S16.000,OO0OO and
the payroll was $1S2.OOO,OO0.OO. If.
on the other hand, the payroll as re-
turned by the Washington state de-
partment of labor and industries for
1919, which was almost exactly the
same amount as reported by the gov
eminent for payroll of the manufac-
turing establishments in the state,
may be taken as a measure of the
states factory payroll in 1926, then
it will be approximately $252,OO0,OOO.

for everything from automobiles and
furniture to machinery and toys.
Frank ]. Fahel, vice-president of
the largest safety razor company in
the world, has found that there is no
saturation point in that business.
Why should there be saturation
point in any business?
According to James H. Rand, Jr,
Nineteen twenty-seven will reward
good. management" Undoubtedly,
good management has more to do
than anything else with efficient dis
tribution. Perhaps, where there is
good management there is less likeli-
hood of saturated viewpoints, which
-4lways come before saturation points
in any market.
The last report of the Bureau of
Statistics of the U. S. Treasury De-
partment shows that there are nearly
ten times as many persons today re-
ceiving from three thousand to ten
thousand dollars per year as there
were ten years ago. Is this not evil
dence that wealth, as we'll as infor-
nation, raw materials, food and man
ufactured articles, is being distrib-

"If 1927 should bring any lull in

Thus, whatever happens in our
domestic market, distribution will be
an important factor in our foreign

other phase of foreign distribution by
pointing to the increased demand for

NEW RADIO STATION
WELL RECEIVED BY FANS

A new era in Seattle radio broad
casting was marked with the formal
opening on New Years Eve of the
new 1000-watt Western Electric sta
ton, Fishers Blend Station. Inc"
broadcasting on a 305.9 meter wave
length under the call letters KOMO.
Every day since the first program
kilograms and letters by the hundred
have poured in, complimenting the
new station on the quality of both re-
ception and the programs presented.
Fishers Blend Station is owned by
interests identified with the Fisher
FIGURING Mills Company, manufacture
ers of Fishers Blend Flour. It is a
Western Electric station of the most
modern type. the only one of its kind
on the Pacific Coast, north of Port
land, and the quality of reception
from it is declared by listeners to be
superior to anything previously
heard from the district in which it is
located.
The transmitting station, together
with a small studio, is located at the
plant of the Fisher FIGURING Mills in
Seattle. The main studios are in the
heart of the city, in the Metropolitan
center, with two large studios and
one small one, the offices being at
the same location.
The programs are broadcast by
Totem Broadcasters, an organization
whose members include a dozen of
the largest and most representative
business concerns in Seattle. Among
them are the Puget Sound Power &
Light Company, the Metropolitan Ma
tional Bank, the Standard Furniture
Company, Schwabacher Bros. & Co..
the Fisher FIGURING Mills Company
the Eldridge Buick Company, the Gen
eral Insurance Company of America,
the Imperial Candy Company, the
Bellingham Coal Company, Frye &
Co., the Pacific Steamship Company
and the American Mail Line.
The broadcasting program is the
most ambitious yet undertaken by a
Seattle station. 1t is continuous for
fourteen hours each day, except Sun
day, beginning at 10 a. m. The pro-
Lynch, general director, and Graham
Morgan, orchestra director, two must
clans who have wide regulations as
directors of orchestras, choral socie-
ties and pageants. A wide range of
variety is covered, - including vocal
numbers, from soloists Of recognized
standing, to large choruses, orches-
tras varying in size from trios to
little symphony organizations, instru-
mental solos by recognized artists,
novelty numbers, Jackie Souders'
Olympic Hotel dance orchestra, both
popular and classic music of all kinds.
A feature of the first program was the
oratorio, "The Messiah"
A record in construction was made
in the erection of the three-story addi-
ton to one of the buildings at the
Fisher FIGURING Mills, on the top
floor of which the transmitting equip
ment of the new station was to be
located. 1t was essential that the
Building be completed in time to allow
the installation of the radio equip
ment SO that the first program might
be broadcast New Years Eve. Plans
: were started on November IL and
given to the contractors November 90
No work was done on Thanksgiving
Day. The third floor was poured on
the 9th and the roof on the 10Th.

operated.

"By that time the various racial
elements in this country probably
will have merged into Q definite
American stock. Every race has
its own type Of architecture. which
reflects its habits of living and
thought Tho American race Will
not be an exception" Z
Mr.. Sloan believes that tho new
American architecture will express
the union of strength and grace.
The buildings will have an air ot
slimness. but without fragility.

The ingeniously devised wagon"
set shown above is used at the Western
Electric Hawthorne Works in Chicago
for testing telephone switchboard units
In order to guarantee that the in
tricate equipment of the modern
switchboard perform all its many
functions without hitch, it must be
faultlessly constructed and rehearsed
before it goes into action. 1t is the
duty of the inspection and testing de-
partmcnt at the Hawthorne works to
put the boards through their PAGES.
For this purpose testing sets have been
made which, under the direction of the
tester, will cause the circuits to go
through their operations exactly as
they are expected to do when in
service.

Newspaper advertising will be in
more demand in 1927 than ever be

all lines of business. A corresponding
growth may be expected in newspa

among business men to distribute in
formation, the first essential in an
era of prosperity based upon distribu
ton.

the switchboard have some features IN
common, such as talking battery, ring
ing current, busy and trouble testing
circuits and power leads. This has
made possible the design of test set
which, by the employment of replace
able sections, can be utilized in test
ing variously wired switchboard units.
Since it is easier to move a test
set than a switchboard, the sets are
made portable and are easily handled.
All of the common features are as

mounted on wheels and arranged to
carry the test sets for the other
