...this world's-biggest-money-making corporation. For, last week, General Motors discussed with Radio Corp. plans for using some of its available manufacturing equipment to turn out sets under R. C. A. patents. Also, last week, General Motors picked up a small ($13,000,000) electrical-equipment concern, Northeast Electrical Co. of Rochester. Already, indeed, General Motors makes radios. All new Cadillacs have aerials in their bodies and, for $150 extra, Cadillac dealers will install a receiving set built by Delco-Remy, which is a G. M. subsidiary...
...statement Sir Douglas expressed concern over continued competition in foreign companies; over unsettled conditions in the potentially great Chinese market; over the inaccessibility of Russia where the Soviet government holds $84,000,000 of Singer assets.

Consider the malefactions at Chicago's station WPH. An ominous spiritualist called Dr. Workman was broadcasting questions with ghost-given answers. The studio was plunged in darkness, for only so could he connect with his wise phantoms. Whereupon an ugly bevy of Chicago's finest gunmen entered, stripped the jewelry from some debutantes who were about to advertise a Junior League extravaganza...
Vickers, Ltd. Disclosed last week was the fact that Vickers, Ltd., England's great shipbuilding and ordnance concern, owns outright The Airship Guarantee Co., Ltd,, which has built and last week was ready to test-fly the British dirigible R-100, ordered by the British government. (The British Air Ministry itself is building the Commonwealth's other dirigible, R-101.) When the Government accepts the R-100 it will immediately resell her to Airship Guarantee Co. at half the contract price on condition that she will be used on experimental long-distance passenger flights within the Empire...
