William S. PaIey One of
Country'S Youngest
Executives.

One of the outstanding events of
the radio world has been the rise
of William S. Paley, president of the
Columbia broadcasting system. At
the age of 27 he heads one OF the
largest broadcaSting companies IN
the world.
There is no accident or trick OF
fortune connected with Paleys sud
den appearance in a position OF
tremendous Importance and re-
sponsibility. In spite of his youth,
his training for years has all tended
in this direction, and his interests
have led him to devote much time
and thought to the subject of radio.
Paley was born in Chicago ana
received his grammar school educa-
ton in the public schools OF that
CITY. His college preparatory work
took him to the Western Military
Academy at Alton, Ill. He returned
to Chicago for his freshman year at
college, where he studied at the UNI
vrsity of Chicago. In 1919 Paley
continued his college studies at the
University of Pennsylvania, gradu-
ating from that institution in 1922
with the degree of Bachelor OF
Science in Economics.
Before long he had earned the
position of vice-president and sec
rotary, and was put in complete
charge of the national advertising
and production. Devoting much
time to the subject of tobacco, he
became an expert in that field.

set. when with a small crystal and
a few hairpins one was able to get
the time signals from as great a
distance as twenty-five miles. For
the past year he has operated the
radio department at the Fuller
Ryde company, where a complete
line of Majestic, Atwater Kent,
Philco and r. G. A. may be found

corps of trained radio statesmen and
