UL.S.RADIOSRULE. | BASEL EXPOSITION 90 Per Cent of Exhibits From| America—Swiss Prefer Make. By Ceble to The Star. BASEL, Switzerland, September 30.— A successful international radio show is on in the Basel Fair Building and| many sales are reported. American radio outfits dominate the exposition, comprising over 90 per cent of the exhibits. Prominent among them are the American Bosch, “ada, Crosley, Scott and Philco. The only competition is from one Dutch "firm, two German and two Austrian, and one American firm manufacturing in England. Midg- ets and high-priced receivers are in de- mand. American receivers appeared in Switz- erland a year ago when the Germans held the field. Now the Swiss prefer American apparatus to the German. Americans offer better quality and low- er prices, and the Swiss are careful buyers and prefer quality. Swiss listeners-in are increasing steadily and the market is just being touched, but to hold their newly gained popularity American sets should include & coil for receiving 1,000 to 2,000 meters since European stations use lengths from 200 to 2,000 meters.
