SUMMARIZING THE YEAR IN RADIO. In reviewing the year just passed we must admit that no great and radical changes have come about ■ either in the Radio Art itself or in the trade. Last year, just about this time the trade was recovering from a tre V mendous slump, the aftermath of al booms, be they in radio or oil. The year just passed has been rather a sober one and it has kept us busy cleaning up the wreckage left over by the radio boom which started off ' early in 1922 and which created the situation that was unparalled, not only in the radio indutry, but in any , other industry. The radio boom was responsible : for a tremendous expan sion of the radio industry, when th manufacturers were only concerned ■v with one thing and that was produt $ tion. We have not entirely recovered | from the radio boom as yet, because 7 due to the frenzied rush in orders t ■ . get out material which was poor and i thtown on the market, thousands of > people, still have a grouch against l|- everything and anything connected l with radio. ^ The year ^ust passed, has witnessed HM vary important phase and that i' * the price of pearly all classes of radio Sf merchandise has receded from the 1922 artificial high level. Manufac b turers have learned a lesson that it •r* la possible to make more money by selling goods for less than selling merchandise at a high cost and get a few sales that are expensive in the is end. Speeding up the production ^-brings undreamt-of savings. Thu, ^ however, is not always immediately \ epperent to everyone and it reminds me of the story of the widow whose husband had invented a tire valve used on automobile tires which is now - practically used on all standard makes of tires. At first when she tried it out with a big tire manufactu j. rer, she insisted that she receive 50e royalty on every tire put out. The first year she received something like $800. One day a representative from the tire people came in to see her and showed her that by reducing the royalty to 5c on every tire, she woulo probably get $5,000 next year. Thit proposition did not appeal to her but she finally agreed to take $5,000 flat for the next year, no matter how many tires the manufacturer sold This was agreed upon but what the good woman did not know was that if she had accepted the 5c proposi tion instead of the flat, price, she would have received dose to 20,000 -instead of $5,000. We are not an advocate of selling goods for nothing. But we do believe • that "most of the radio material tha has been sold during the past year •was- bold at an artificially high figure i What is the result? Big discounts ar given to the trade which immediately invites cut prices by the less reliable section of the trade. A lower list ,, price with; a fair discount rather guarantees theupholding of the list - price and such a policy is not liable - play havoc with a manufacturei the high list price. * Tile year passed has also witnessed ffcme simplification in the construc tion of radio sets. I believe the single mistake of the radio . today Is that we insist t upon the-public outfits that th< “'if mkn £ cannot operate. I there art five people in a who eAh operate a modern . _ has fbom five controls up With simple printed directions cannot be done. Radio wil' is the phonograph fel we have learned to build our a single control. There are on tfe market today and eminently suceessfull f ~ Wife, yoUT sist« cannot opera And for th ■■ 1 . ■ • ■. -■—■ *■ m- = should wish to do so T Moat of the time they have "to wait until a male memler of the family comes home in iCsv to operate the set. This, of course, is all wrong and we shoula rectify it just as quickly as possible. The single control outfit is coming a3 sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. It is simply a matter for the engineer plus a little courage to do so.—Radio Editor. SRONCHITSS At bedtime rub the threat m..M ch'JSt thoroughly with- * U ; PROFESSIONAL C*VRDS WA1WV'. '.ww.mw.w DR.

DEFICITS CAUSE BRESLAU TO-ABANDON STREET CARS Breslau, Dec. 13.—Unable to bear th«,..de£cil piled up daily by the numerous dines, Breslau has suspend ed street car operation. The situation resulted from the depressed financial and commercial conditions. Recently street car fares were insufficient to even pay the wages of employees, and there was little chance of increasing fares because the mark’s decline was swifter than the time needed to put increased fares into effect. Similar steps have been taken in many smaller cities, but Breslau is ■ho first great metropolitan city to abandon its tramways. Dr. Erich Gloeden, regarded as an authority on town building, says Ger ma ntowns are now paying for the sins of their fathers in town building, and urges a revision in plans for future work so that all workers shall live within fifteen minutes’ walk Let Us Print Them Special Cards and envelopes have been provided in ample ar ray by the Gazette so that all who appreciate the well worth while pleasure of having Christ mas cards printed in accord with their own wishes, may get them at very moderate prices.
