From the first issue
of the magazine:
Radio World's
Salutation
Radio, in all its
varied and marvelous
aspects, is the most
widely discussed
thing in the world
today.
Progress in radio is
so great and all
-absorbing that it
is impossible to
keep up with it in
anything
except a weekly
publication devoted
entirely to this one
subject-Radio.
Hence-RADIO WORLD,
the national
illustrated weekly.
It is perfectly
obvious that a
weekly newspaper,
fresh off the press
every seven days and
up to
date in all its
departments, and
appearing on the
newsstands within
sixty hours after
last
page is closed, is
required in a field
that has grown so
immeasurably during
the past ninety days
and
which is by all odds
the most interesting
scientific and
business proposition
of the day.
RADIO WORLD, the
only weekly in this
wonderful department
of business,
scientific and
amusement
activities, is
published for the
purpose of supplying
an immediate need.
RADIO WORLD will be
profusely
illustrated, and
will be for sale on
all news-stands.
RADIO WORLD will
cover thoroughly
from week to week,
all those matters
affecting radio
fans,
as well as the more
highly specialized
interests
represented by the
dealers in and
manufacturers of
radio goods.
Here are some of the
regular departments
of RADIO WORLD,
some of which are
in this issue,
others to be added
immediately:
A Primer for
Beginners, Problems
Solved, Tips to the
Fan, Question and
Answer Dept., News
and Gossip of Radio
Societies and Clubs,
Radio Merchandising,
Arguments for Radio
Salesmen, How
to Correct Your
Troubles, New
Inventions, News
From Foreign Lands,
Weekly Broadcasting
Programs,
Radio Personalities,
etc., etc.
In addition there
will be special
articles of interest
and value from men
who know their
business
and who know how to
express their ideas.
A special effort
will be made to
guide the hundreds
of thousands of new
enthusiasts who have
begun
the study and
practice of radio,
and who are coming
into the game hour
by hour. These
newcomers
form a tremendous
army of men, and
women, too, who will
want instruction,
advice, and friendly
help. We place RADIO
WORLD at their
disposal. Our Editor
and contributors
will endeavor to
assist
these beginners, as
well as to cater to
the wants and
interest of that
legion already
engaged in the
fascinating
science and pastime.
We pledge ourselves
to do our best to be
helpful, while not
forgetting
that it is necessary
also to be
interesting at the
same time. This makes a pretty
big order for RADIO
WORLD, but we accept
it with the
knowledge that
such a paper is
needed, that we have
the experience, the
knowledge, the
confidence and the
ambition
that count for so
much if success is
to wait on
intelligent effort.
RADIO WORLD is to be
a weekly paper of
service to the radio
jobber, public, the
manufacturer, the
the dealer, and
everybody interested
in the eighth wonder
of the world. |
