CHRISTMAS RUSH SWAMPS RADIO MANUFACTURER Dealers Say Its Nonsense for Buyers to Wait for ‘Newer Sets.’ This will be a Radio Christmas. The radio wave has swept the country and manufacturers of welladvertised and standard sets are compelled to produce day and night so as to meet the demand. One manufacturer produces 3,000 and another 5.000 sets daily, and yet these plants are back in filling orders. The adaptability of radio as an entertainer, aside from its true businenss character, has been well inculcated Into the minds of the people and there has come a demand for installations that can only be compared to the demand for the automobile when its operation and purpose were first understood. Select a good radio receiver and you have a pal for life. Sets may come and go, yet radio ever will be an educative and cultural medium. New principles of odurse, may be discovered, and new types of receivers .built, yet the receivers purchased today, if of standard model, may be depended on to give satisfactory service for years to come. Nonsense to AVait I I Persons unacquainted with the progress of radio the past few years, possibly npt even understand Us principles, may wave aside any argument of the dealer to buy nf>w, with the excuse that “we’ll wait just

a little while longer and get the newest,” that Is nonsense. The only new thing in radio may be the encasement, types of tubes, or increased power from one or another source. But the principle of radio used in all standard models, may not be surpassed for many years to come. If the present marvelous attainment of this miracle invention can be greatly advanced from an entertainment standpoint, it surely will be from a super human source. That i.s hardly possible. Some day we will have' television operated with radio, seeing upon a screen the performer we are listening to. That is possible now. but very expensive for ordinary use. That principle will possibly be the next step in radio development, but with the splendid entertainment in the airways today, it would be nonsensical to wait. SEE KIN APPOINTMENT Report Wilson Will Be Assistant Controller Strengthened. Reports that Claude M. Wilson, assistant cashier of the Marion County Bank and a relative of John L.
