The Infant Prodigy of the Radio Industry
A 1920s radio industry overview notes rapid growth from about fifty pioneers to over 3,000 manufacturers. Sales reached 1 million dollars in 1920, with Americans spending at least 150 million on sets and parts in the prior year. The sector remains young, with no census or regulation yet, but standardization appears likely as it stabilizes.

Bankers View on Co operative Marketing
The American Bankers Association supports properly organized co operative marketing to aid farm products but states cooperatives must follow normal economic laws and cannot grant farmers special perks. Frank W Simmonds presented the view in Washington, noting co operative marketing helps but cannot defy supply and demand or sustain artificial prices. The group favors private enterprise solutions over government aid for farm issues.
