Announcement of a "Radio Information Bureau" helped to give this advertisement an unusually strong "pull" on radio enthusiasts. Care was taken to answer all questions carefully and accurately. This service built good will--and sales. |
Loose couplers--A few medium priced ones.With this background, the radio dealer or prospective dealer probably wants to know what kind of stock and how much can be purchased for various amounts, such as $500, $1,000, and $1,500. In the specimen stock lists that follow, no specific make of apparatus is mentioned, that is, manufacturers names are not inserted. The dealer (we stress the point again), should constantly keep in mind the wisdom of buying as largely as possible from established and responsible manufacturers and jobbers. Dealers should keep in close touch with their jobbers, as they will often be able to give better deliveries than the factories, and may even be able to offer a better discount.
Tuning coils--A few medium priced ones.
Variometers--Molded, several.
Variocouplers--Molded, several.
Head 'phones--Two kinds, some cheap and some high priced.

Forty-three plate variable condensers--Several.
Fixed condensers--Several.
Short-wave regenerative sets--One or two.
Long-wave regenerative sets--One only.
Binding posts--A good assortment.
Aerial wire--Hard-drawn copper and some stranded.
Aerial insulators--A few electros and several two-wire cleats.
Grid condensers--Just a few.
Grid leaks--Just a few.
Audion detector bulbs--Several.
Audion amplifier bulbs--Several.
Audion transmitter bulbs--A few.
Panel rheostats--Several.
Audion sockets-Several.
Audion control panels--A few low priced ones.
Switch points--A good quantity.
Small level switches--A few each, assorted sizes.
Amplifying transformers--A few only.
Crystal detectors--A few only.
Galena crystals--A few only.
High-voltage batteries--22½ and 45-volt.

When a certain high grade and famous department store on Fifth Avenue, New York, undertakes to open a special department for any line of goods, it usually succeeds. The smaller store will do well to give careful attention to the layout of a radio department--and make sure that it does what it is expected to do. |
