RADIO RECEIVING
SET SALES RISE
$23,0 ,000,0 900 Increase Over
1927 indicates 1928 Total
of 1888, 900, 900.

Squirting above the record business of
1927 by some $4,000, 900, sales of radio
receiving apparatus in the United States
for 1928 will total around 1888, 900, 600.
This vast increase reflects the stability
of the new industry in this country 1t
shows that public demand is increasing
with the development of the art.
Last available information shows that
6,766 radio dealers sold S20,508, ,666
worth of receiving sets. loud speakers,
tubes, batteries, power units and other
receiving accessories during the third
quarter of this year. This number of
dealers, out of the total of 81 ,573 in the
country, responded to the QUESTIONABLE
sent out by the Commerce Department.
Accepting the business of these deal
ers as the average for the entire trade,
it is estimated that the total business
for 1923 will amount to 1888, 100000. 1t
is figured that the average per capita
business of the 81 ,573 dealers will be
approximately $4,000 The margin of
increased business can be cleaned from
the estimates for 1927, placing the ag-
gregate sales at $3.50. 100000 by 30,761
dealers, who averaged about $11,700
sacn.
That the battery set is being replaced
by the electric plug in receiver and
inroads on the magnetic type is clearly
shown in the replies of the 6,766 deal
erS for the months of July. August and
September. They report that only 23,-
500 battery sets were sold during this
period, as against approximately 100000
"A-C' receivers, and that 32,224 bat
terry sets and 5S,262 "A-C" sets were on
hand on October /, as against the 28,311
and 24,566, respectively, in the posses
sion of the 6,737 dealers who reported
Oh July l.
There were no reports on the volume
OF loud-speaker sales, but the compare
tive figures on the number on hand tell
the story. These dealers had in their
possession on october / a total of $3.50
leud speakers of the magnetic type and
1896 of the dynamic type. as COM
pared with 39,675 and 2,483, respective
". in the hands of dealers reporting
July l. The number of tubes of the
A-C type in dealers hands october /
was 295, ,448. or more than double the
122,72 on hand July /.
