Imperial Valley press., 1929-11-25

With the Christmas season fast
!, approaching, FL Centro homes are
turning to radio receiving sets as
this years gift for the home, ac-
eording to Warren Currier, sales
manager of the l. V. Hardware Com
pany.
"Just recently" states Currier,"
eve received what we believe is the
largest single shipment of radios
ever sent into the valley. A large
furniture truck and trailer was
loaded with IS Majestic Electric
radios This large shipment repre-
sented an investment of approXi-
n'atelv $500. The radios were or
dered to fill the demand for Christ
mas gifts. Majestic radio sales
activity has not been confined to
Imperial Valley, for through South
err California and Arizona where
distribution is made by Unger &
| Watson of Los Angeles, heavy
seasonal demand has been expert
enced.
"Broadcasting conditions have
improved, and receiving sets are con-
stantly being improved, SO that
more and more people are turning
to Majestic for those qualities of
tone, selectivity and other factors
upon which people generally choose
a radio set"
