Volume 1: A-C Daton to J.B. Ferguson, Inc.:

This is the definitive account of the exciting decade when radio first entered the home and changed forever the way of life in America. It features the start-up stories of almost 150 different radio manufacturers in the United States and gives detailed information on the products they produced, making this an invaluable guide for radio collectors and historians alike. It includes rare photos of the factories and hundreds of pictures and reproduced magazine ads detailing their products.

Thousands of early radios are identified by make, model number and important features. The evolution of radio design is traced from crystal sets and one-tube "regens" to the first AC sets and superheterodynes.

Learn about the beginning of some of America's largest consumer electronics manufacturers like

  • General Electric,
  • RCA,
  • Raytheon,
  • Westinghouse,
  • Zenith
  • ... and others.

Organized alphabetically by manufacturer. Volume 1 includes A-C Daton to J.B. Ferguson, Inc.

Perfect, Perfect, Perfect!
Format: Board book
Up until about 6 months ago our three year old expressed little to no interest in books at all. The first book that captivated him was a book about rockets and since then it's pretty much been multiple books about rockets and trains with just a few others thrown in here and there. Then we found the Pookie books. We first got the Goodnight Pookie book and my son loves it so much that he wants us to read it to him many, many times at bedtime - something he didn't even request with his favorite rocket books! We bought him this one along with several other Boynton books and they are all hits! I'm so glad to see him get into a book that isn't focused on a vehicle or superhero. The books are also so cute! They rhyme and are the perfect length for bedtime.
