Kolster Radio Corp. was formed in 1926* as a merger of several wireless companies. It supplies the radio portion of Columbia radio-phonographs. From it the Mackay (Postal Telegraph) companies buy all their communication equipment, and it supplies a minimum of one-third of the wired radio apparatus used by wired Radio, Inc., a subsidiary of North American Co. (utility serving 932 cities with population of 6,250,000).

Consider a house which is primarily a machine to live in, which can be manufactured in mass, assembled at service stations and delivered in 24 hours, costing as a minimum $500 a ton. Its translucent watts is of casein, its inflatable doors and floors, its collapsible mast, its bathroom cast in a piece--all these were fantastic items to catch the imagination.

...During the past season this latter group were allowed but two practice sessions of an hour each every week. Men having other engagements at these times were of course barred from any participation in class basketball, and the interest of those who did take part was kept at a minimum by the meagre time allotted to them. Those in charge of this phase of the situation estimate that many men who began the season with enthusiasm soon withdrew when they found how little opportunity was allowed them for keeping in condition, let alone improving their game...
