Re- 2 THE EVENING RADIO COMPANIES PLANNING MERGERS Combines Are Seen as Major Developments in Industry Next Year. BY MARTIN CODEL. Factory mergers and the spread of chain stores are expected to be major developments in the radio industry next year. The trend is already discernible. Negotiations are under way or com- pleted for various combines, particularly in the field of retail distribution. The Grigsby-Grunow Co., a leader in production volume, is known to be nego- tlating with several smaller companies with a view to merging interests. This Chicago concern, which recently closed down its factoy to prepare for 1930 production, only to find the holiday de- mand so great that it had to reopen part of its plant, is particularly anxious to expand in the tube fleld. Every report involving Atwater Kent in sales or merger negotiations has been denied instantly by Mr. Kent's repre- sentatives. The Philadelphian is in a strategic position in radio, in that he is the complete owner of his plant. He is represented as feeling that he would have little or nothing to gain by join- ing forces with any other concern. His only occasion for selling out, it is said, would be retirement, and he is sald to have no thought of retiring in the near future. Merger Involves 61 Stores. Forthcoming months will find the newly-organized General Motors Radio Corporation, affiliated with the Radio Corporation’ of America, in the radio market with a product of its own. What this portends for production and the radio retail trade cannot be foreseen. In the retail fleld a recent consoli- dation took place which involved 61 stores throughout the country. They were formed into the Atlas Stores Cor- poration. With headquarters in Chi- cago, this company claims to be the largest retail radio organization in the world. H. M. Stein, former president of City Radio Stores, Inc., a New York chain, is president of the new company, and N. L. Cohn of the old Atlas string in Chicago is executive chairman. ‘Various local chains of stores in large cities were involved in this consolida- tion, including some in New York, New- ark, Chicago, Detroit. Cleveland, Cin- STAR, WASHINGTON, cinnati and Akron. The heads an- nounce that they will expand over the entire United States and eventually branch out into other countries. They estimate their annual sales at more than $20,000,000. While these and other mergers are taking place among large and small producers and distributors, the fight of the “independents” against the so-called “radio trust” will be pushed with re- newed vigor here. The group of inde- pendent radio manufacturers known as the o Protective Association, with headquarters at and offices here, expects to ted before th Couzens committee when hearings on radio are reopened, possibly next month. Protest General Motors’ Advent. ‘Their fight is with the Radio Corporation of America and affiliated companies, although they have protested to the Department of Justice also against the advent of General Mo- tors into the radio field. ‘The formation of another crusading organization, incorporated in Iilinois as the Audio Research Foundation and having the same offices as the Radio Protective Association, has also been announced. C. C. Colby, president of the Samson Electric Co. of Canton, Mass, and former president of the Radio Manufacturers’ Association, was announced as one of the sponsors of this organization, which was said to be made up of leading manufacturers in the amplification field. ‘The announced object of this organi- zation is to “secure a comprehensive in- vestigation of the art, as well as of patents, in this field.” They are pre- pared to fight, it is understood, against the alleged control of loud speaker and other amplifying patents by the Ameri- can Telephone & Telegraph Co. and its subsidiaries. Ernest Reichman of Chi- cago is their counsel. (Copyright, 1929, by North American News- Daper Alliance.) —e CHOSEN FOR PROMOTION. Lowman Approved for Captain by Navy Secretary. Comdr.

They are a reminder of one of the forms of diversion which were prac- ticed among the early settlers, but they are now somewhat ch in form. In the old days the turkey was the tar- get and often the birds experlenced a pretty hard time before they were finally killed. This is according to an old New Englander who has attended many of the shoots. He says: ‘“The birds today may be as tough as those upon the tree stumgs as targets and prizes 70 years ago, but their skins and nerves are not put to so prolonged and cruel a test.
