Generally speaking, inventories are down, many old companies whose products became household words in a short time have been eliminated. Charles Freshman, Kolster, Brandes, Ware, Freed-Elsemann, Thompson, Bel-Canto, Sleeper, Themiodyne, are no longer names to be reckoned with. The industry has been concentrated into fewer, stronger hands, some of which are pioneer survivors. Old firms still strong include Atwater Kent, Philco, Grigsby-Grunow, Stromberg-Carlson, Crosley, Grebe, Andrea Inc., Gulbransen...
