THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, RADID DLSTY NGOODGONDITON Sales Running From 30 to 50 Per Cent Higher Than a Year Ago. BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, radio trade today is at its very peak, according to conservative estimates of men in the industry. After a disap- pointing first half year, the industry apparently has ed itself, gotten down to a busin sis and is mak- ing highly sati profits. Sales of receiving sets in the main merchandising centers of the country are running from 30 to 50 per cent higher than those of a year ago, and it seems likely that the total Fall trade will be at least 15 per cent hea densome stocks and supplies of obso- lete sets have been gotten rid of, concerns inadequately fi either passed out of the pi adjusted their capital structures on a more stable basis. Holiday Peak Coming. The holiday business has not vet reached its full power, but there is normally drop shortly after the early part of December, which extends to January 1. The hol “business, however, will be suff keep sales volume at or e to present levels for the remainder of the year, and in consequence most well man- aged companies will show larger prof- its than in 1926, desplte the di pointing first few months of 1927. For example, one of the leading in- terests earned nothing on its common stock in the first quarter and only 6 cents a_share in the second quarter. But in July, August and September it piled up profits of $2.80 are and STEEL & WOOD High Quality—Low Cost GHAW- for the year is expected to show more than $5 a share. There has been a big demand for batteryless sets, owing to improve- ments in the last 12 months. jome manufacturers have had difficulty in keeping up with orders for sets which operate on house current. The pres- ent activity is credited to improvement in broadcasting programs and the cut- ting down of air congestion. The increase in the number of sets in operation has been followed by a marked increase in the replacement demand for tubes, batteries, power units and loudspeakers. The acces- sory business is running in even heav- ier volume than sales of sets. The distribution of power units to individ- ual consumers is about 25 per cent heavier than a year ago. Auto Men Enter Field. Many of the automobile accessories November 30.—The | manufacturers have entered the radio accessory or set fleld in the last year and many have done exceedingly well. For these the radio business has made up for the slackness in demand from automobile and truck manufacturers. The automobile accessory and part replacement business is running heav- fer than a year ago, but the original cquipment demand has been checked apparently until the trend of the au- tomobile industry in 1928 can be deter- mined more definitely. So far as auto r [ equipment alone is 1927 will be one of the most unsatisfactory rs the industry has ever experi- ed. \les in the first quarter of 1928 are cpected to show a sharp turn up- with profits well ahead of those the current quarter or the first quarter of 1 The larger, registra- tion of automobiles, which has gained well over 2,000,000 in the last year,| will mean an increased demand for service station equipment. There seems to have been a slight ff in the demand for radio- aph combination instruments in the early part of this year, and while the business in this type of equipment has improved largel not, in all probability, equal those of 926, 0TIS STEEi.
