One of the outstanding events of the radio world has been the public emerg- ence of William S. Paley, president of the Columbia Broadcasting System. At the age of 27 he now heads one of the Jargest broadcasting companies in the world, and since his affiliation with this concern early last Fall, has developed it into one of the most progressive of business organizations “There is no accident or trick of for- tune connected with Mr. Pale sudden appearance in a position of tremendous In spite vouth, his training for years has nded in this djrection,” and his s have led him to devote much thought to the subject of of his all intere time and radio.

Success seemed certain and this young man of 27 bade fair to make a spectacular fortune when he gave up his very remunerative and absolutely assured position to buy & controlling interest in a broadeasting concern that, up to that time, had been losing money. It seems a far cry from tobacco to radio, but it will not be difficult to trace back the working of Paley’s mind on this subject. In the first place, the quality of enterprise which has always been one of his outstanding character- istics caused his interest to wane in a concern that was obviously successful and whose development was a matter of routine. In the second place, as ad- vertising head of the cigar company, he had interested himself in every angle of this fleld, and had decided that radio broadcasting as an advertising medium held untold possibilities. In_ addition, Mr. Paley saw a field where his efforts could be used to develop a real public service. His vision in that respeet is emplified by some of Columbia’s features.
