But with the tremendous strides in broadcasting came quick recognition by the public as to the respective mer- its of the receivers and the reliability of the companies that were bidding for continued and expanding business in radio. It cannot be truthfully stated that the radio industry is yet stabil- ized. How could one expect it to be in 80 short a time—less than five years? But the process toward stabilization is well under way. Forging rapidly to the forefront are the small and select EToup of manufacturing interests upon which the radio public of the future will rely for efficient apparatus, made only after intensive research, market- ed at a fair price, with a solid guar- antee. Radio become a fixture in Amer- ican home life From a business standpoint there is no question about the tremendous yearly volume to be ubsorbed by the American publie. However, it is my belief that, eventually, 95 per cent of the business will be done by less than six companies. At the present time over 90 per cent of the automobile busi- ness of the country is done by 12 com- panies, though there are hundreds of motor car manufacturers. Likewise the larger, well established units in the radio manufacturing business will grow bigger, and there will probably be considerable mortality among the smaller units, just as was the casa in the phonog: Companies whose position as to prod- uct and merchandising policies is well and stronger, and it Is likely that within A very few years tha radio industry will be concentrated in comparatively few hands. & New Capital Wary. New capital is no longer rushing into the radio business as it formerly did, because the soundly financed and conservatively managed companies are situation was inviting, indeed, and lit-doing an excellent volume of business.

MEXICO'S FORMER “MAD EMPRESS” ILL Charlotte, Widow of Maximilian, Reported in Brussels to Be Sinking Rapidly. By the Associated Press. BRUSSELS, December 5.—Former Empress Charlotte of Mexico is gravely ill. She is reported to be sinking rapidly. The former Empress has acute bron- chitis with pulmonary congeszion, her physiclans announced this morning after a consultation with King Albert. The Queen has been at the bedside and the royal family has been kept in- formed of the patient's condititon hourly. Slight hopes are entertained for recovery. Charlotte, the ‘“Mad Empress” of Mexico, widow of Emperor Maximilian, is in her eighty-fiffh year. She has been in uncertain mental state since her dramatic interview with Napoleon IIT, when the French sovereign re- fused to aid her husband. Maximil- fan’s ill-starred Mexican adventure came to an end at Queretaro, where he was shot by the revolutionists in June, 1869. Charlotte for many vears had lived in a chateau near Brussels. She was the daughter of Leopold I, King of the Belgians. D. C., DECEMBER 6, 1925—PART 1. ol FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RADIO EACH DAY BY JOSEPH CALCATERRA, Noted Authority on Radio. All Rights Reserved.
