National Broadcasting. The Radio Corporation of America (Owen D. Young, Chairman; General James G. Harbord, President), largest distributor of radio receiving sets in the world, realizes that, although 5,000,000 U.S. homes already own sets, another 21,000,000 families may buy them if radio broadcasting programs are high in quality and plentiful in quantity. To insure this industrial expansion, R. C. A. has just bought the American Telephone & Telegraph Co.'s (Bell System) Manhattan broadcasting station WEAF for $1,000,000 and organized the National Broadcasting Co. Inc. (M. H. Aylesworth, president). National Broadcasting will rent...
...fuel into the cylinder at the moment when the piston has risen and greatly compressed the air in the chamber. Compression makes the air so hot that ignition is automatic and the explosion gradual and more powerful than the complex explosion obtained with a spark plug. No generator or distributor is needed by a Diesel; no pressure oiling system. The Diesel's fuel is crude oil-almost any oil will do. The Foos engineers maintained that their new contrivance was so perfected that even buttermilk, when introduced to its cylinder, would explode with sufficient violence to propel a stranded...

Other holdings of Sheffield Farms include five large farms for the production of certified...
Back in 1909, one Fred Wardell became a "one-horse distributor" of electric vacuum cleaners. While he himself canvassed, his sole employee-a girl stenographer-ran his entire office. After four years of this, he proceeded to buy out the manufacturing end of the business, and acquired five men to help him run it. During the dark days of 1920, these five stuck to Wardell and his vacuum cleaners. Today, the Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Co., Detroit, is the largest manufacturing concern of its type in the world, with 250,000 shares of stock outstanding and no bonds or preferred ahead...
...this we agree. The present courses seem to be a compromise designed to meet the needs of both the concentrator and the distributor; with the concentrator having a little the best of the bargain. The chief objection of the man who is merely distributing lies in the fact that he finds in such courses little of scientific method, less of the philosophy of science, and much of the drudgery. Any remedy, in consequence, must offer less drudgery, more philosophy, and a rather more definite idea of scientific method...
