The Rapid Gain Of The U.S. Public Interest In Radio
 
" In 1922 there were hardly 100,000 radio sets in use; in 1923 the number had grown to 2,000,000; in 1924 to 3,750,000 and by the end of 1925 it is estimated that the number of sets in use will reach a total of 5,000,000. 

The retail value of sets and parts has grown from $50,000,000 in 1922 to an estimated $500,000,000 in 1925, one of the most stupendous growths in history.

Public interest in radio has gained rapidly and apparently has continued un- abated ".
