THE EVENING WORLDS }10-PHONE— 'THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE POTASH & DE Pertinent Comment On Important wvents The Partners Are Not Yet Ready to Follow Garfunkel’s Lead and Go Into “Radi- um’’ Apparatus. Abe and Rosie Got Tired of Mechanical Pianos and Phono- graphs and He Fears Loss of Interest. “Mr the Garfunkles’ last night, Mawruss, and listened in on one of them radium sets which Garfunkel bought it a couple days ago,” Abe Pot- ash remarked to h is partner, Morris Perl- mutter, recently. “We could hear a feller in New ark delivering a lecture on ‘Some Common __Dis- eases of Poul- SMEN TAG a0 try’ just as plain as if he would have been in the next room with a blanket over his head and his mouth full of mush.” “I heard the same lecture over to Wachsmann’s electrical supply store on Lenox Avenue, and Wachsmann tried to tell me it was a soprano solo by the name ‘Land of the Sky Blue Water’ with the amplifier not working right,” Mor- ris Perlmutter said. “Well, you didn’t miss much i ” Abe said. ‘In fact, Mawruss, one of the best things you can say for this here radium broadcasting as a means of spend- and Rosie was over to Net Low Last.

At lest we ahead of Bastero standard Ume, Ly arming appearance ¢ the average lobo ing what some people call a pleas- ant evening is that outside of the initial cost of the machinery, y’un- derstand, you are getting some- thing for nothing, and you can al- ways figure that something which you get for nothing ain’t worth even that much.” “Still, Abe, you've got to admit that it’s a wonderful thing how a feller ike Garfunkel can sit in his own home on 110th Street and hear a leo- turer in Newark deliver a talk on ‘Some Common Diseases of Poultry’ even though Garfunkel is in the pants business and the only use he can get out of the information he receives from such a lecture is that he would swear off eating chicken fricassee in Wasserbauer's for the rest of his life,”’ Morris remarked. “Say! I've been steering clear of ‘Wasserbauer’s chicken fricassee long before this here radium broadcasting was ever discovered, which after a chicken has been dead for as long as them cold storage chickens that Was- serbauer uses in his chicken fricassee, Mawruss, it's Immaterial to me what a radium broadcasting lecturer says such chickens died of,"’ Abe declared. BEDTIME STORIES AT 11.30. “Well, of course, lectures Iike ‘Some Common Diseases of Poultry’ ain't the only turn on the programme of them radium broadcasting perform- ances, Abe,"’ Morris said. ‘Every once in a while—say a couple of time a day—somebody sings ‘The Rosary, ‘and then of course there !s the bed- time story, which in New York, gets gent out somewhere ayound 7 o'clock.’ “You would think that the people which is running such an up-to-date invention like this here radium broad- casting would know that the time to send out bedtime stories for New York Wall St. Gossip Although considerable profit taking came into the stock market in to- day's two hour session, investment demand coupled with speculative rchases were more than suffi- cient to take care of the selling and the peice tone was firm The only news developement of & na- ture to influence prices were the extremely favorable weekly trade reviews. These told in positive terms of the continued revival in nearly all lines of business and un- doubtedly did much to inspire a part of the heavy buying which was in evidence from the opening to the closing gong. Interesting additional details of the terms of the merger of tho Repub- lic, Inland and Midvale steel com panies, developed at the Lockwood hearing failed to affect the price of these: shares, Probably the fact that @ $20,000,000 fund ts to be cre- ated to protect the market position of these stocks had much to do with offsetting any speculative bearish - ness that might have been created by knowledge that the banking syn dicate back of the merger, and promoter, are together to get nearly 20,000 shares at $10 a share, and that the underwriting price of the 3, 1922, | “CG here radium ontfits.” children is not earlier than 11.30,"" Abe remarked, “‘which Garfunkel tells me that they tried to argue with their lit- tle boy Junior that he should ought to 0 to bed right after hearing the bed- tme'story from the Newark broad- casting station, and the kid gets so sore, y’understand, he goes to work and smashes fifteen dollars’ worth of apparatus on them.” “It's very easy to do that damage to one of them outfits, Morris said. ‘I seen some of them in Wachsmann’s electrical supply store which had starting and lighting sys- tems on ’em like a Rolls-Royce already and you could hear programs being performed as far away as Boston." “Then I presume if Garfunkel want- ed to spend more money for his ma- chinery, Mawruss, he could hear somebody sing “The Rosary'’ from even San Francisco eve Abe said. “Further than that too,"’ Morris re- plied, ‘‘which in former days you could get crazy by some one singing ‘Silver Threads Among the Gold’ from the next flat or maybe a couple of houses down the street at the furthest, but now there don't seem to THEM.” be no limit to the distance from which. you could be annoyed that way, es- pecially if the electrical supply house talks you into buying one of the more expensive radium outfits.”’ A LECTURE ON OIL, “That seems to be the drawback in one of them radium outfits as com~- pared to a phonograph, Mawru: Abe said, “With a phonograph you can put on whatever record you want, and you could listen to one of these here Toschas, Jaschas or Saschas playing something elegant, a classical selection on the fiddle, y'un- derstand, or you could get a Hearty laugh out of Harry Lauder -provided the children ain't got the record chanical piano of a phonograph, you can On This Here Radium Broadcasting ARFUNKEL can sit in his own home on 110th Street and hear a lecturer in Newark deliver a talk on ‘Some Common Diseases of Poultry, and the only information he receives is that he would swear off eating chicken fricassee.” “You would think that the people which is running such an up to date invention like this here radium broadcasting would know the time to send o ont bedtime stories for New York children is not earlier than 11.80.” “You sit down all set to listen to a little good music and instead of, anyhow, Galli-Curci you get sprung on you Tenth Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Iron Dike and Land Reclamation Company.” “If me and Rosie in only a few months’ time Jost the ambition to work such a regular sinecure as a me~ imagine how long it would take us to lose interest in one of these Scratched up too much, y'understand, but with this here radium broadcast- ing outfit, Mawruss, you ain't got no choice in the matter. “You sit down all set to listen to a little good music, y'understand, and instead of anyhow Galli-Curci, you get sprung on you from the broad- éasting station at Albany JKX, Tenth Annual Meeting of the Board of Di- rectors of the Iron Dike and Land Reclamation Company,’ or maybe it will be a talk on ‘Why Lubricating Olls Lose Their Viscosity,’ by Hiram J. Lebkuchen, editor and publisher of The Lubricating Oll World.’ “There is other advantages which the phonograph has over the radium broadcasting apparatus, Abe,"’ Morris sald Any schlemiel could run a phonograph if he's~ got gumption enough to wind {t and put in a new needle occasionally, but while you ain't got to be a mechanical genius exactly to operate one of them radium outfits, y'undertand, still a clumsy feller like you which could Gott soll huten injure himself for life gpening a safety pin, y‘understand, would bet- ter leave one of them outfits alone if “THE KID GETS SO SORE, Y’'UNDERSTAND, HE GOES TO WORK AND SMASHES FIFTEEN DOLLARS’ WORTH OF APPARATUS ON you don’t want to be electrocuted ex- actly.’* “Is that so!” Abe exclaimed. “I've got just so much mechanical ability as you've got, Mawruss, even if I didn't operate a sewing machine like you used to, y’understand,”" “I wasn’t insulting you, Abe. I was only warning you,” Mawruss assured him. “Which if you've got an {dea that you would Ike to buy one of them radium receiving outfits with a storage battery strong enough so you could hear “The Rosary’ from as far away as Chicago, Abe, put it off till after the buyers has gone back in August, because if I've got to run this business alone for a while, I would feel a whole lot better if you was in REMIT Ue CMLIAWPUSSD .~. the hospital for something legitimate like being run over'by a taxicab in- stead of monkeying with a toy like this here rac um outfit.” GARFUNKEL'S POWER PLANT. “Say! Abe exclaimed, “You should not worry your head that I'm going to invest any more money in home amusements, I've got sev- erdl hundred dollars tied up right now tn a phonograph and a self-play- ing piano which ain't neither one been operated by elther Rosie or my- self in over eighteen months already on account of overdoing it when we first had them, y'understand “So, therefore, Mawruss, if me and Rosie in only a few months’ time lost the ambition to work such a regular sinccure as a mechanical piano or a phonograph, you could imagine how long it would take us to lose interest in one of these here radium outfits where you've got to be a combination of Henry Ford and Thomas J. Edison to get the best results out of it “Take that machinery which Gare funkel has got in his living room, Mawruss, and the way It looked to me last night, y'understand, there enough of it to run anyhow a medium size garment factory. If I had such a power plant in my living room, Mawruss, the least I would expect to hear over it would be the entire Metropolitan Opera House Company in an all star production of ‘Parsifal.’ "’ “Well, these radium broad. casting stations ain't being run for such first-class A No. 1 patrons of here high grade music Ike you, Abe,” Morris said. “The idea is that the stuff sent out should appeal to all kinds of people, and while I admit that I don't exactly see where more than one thousandth of 1 per cent. of the people who buy recetving appara. tus are going to be interested in a lecture on ‘Our Water Supply and How We Pald for It,’ by the Mayor of Paterson, N. J., y’understand, at the same time the average citizen would be a whole lot less bored by, Such a lecture than he would be by @ Performance of ‘Parsifal.’ WHAT DOFS THE FARMER WANT? “Also, Abe, It ain't only music that these here radium broadcasting sta- tions ts broadcasting," Morris con- tinued. ‘The idea is to increase the sales of receiving apparatus among people which has got such @ poor ear for music that they would sooner hear what Kennecott Copper closed at or who won the fourth race at Tia Juana than a whole orchestra of Kubeltke."" “But I thought {t was the farmer and not the city man that was going to get the most beneft out of this here radium broadcasting,"’ Abe said, ‘and after a hard day's ploughing, Mawruss, what amusement is it going to be for the tired farmer to sit around the farm house kitchen and hear that Tombstone Tire and Rubber went up to a quarter bid three-elghths asked, and then broke to one-eighth, or that there was especial weakness in Ger- man rates, the mark being quoted at three-tenths of a cent—cables?”* “Well,""| Morris remarked, ‘what the farmer needs nowadays is not so much amusement as consolation, Abe, and it must be anyhow a consolation for the farmer to find out that in this year of 1922, farming ain't nearly in such a bad way as Forcign Ex. change."" “Or Cloaks and Suits neither, concluded.
