WORLD'S OWN HIGH POWER RADIO BEGINS
BROADCASTING TODAY FROM ITS CENTRAL CITY STATION
From "Vancouver Daily World" March 23, 1922
After strenous effort and a night of the
most thorough tests The World begins its broadcasting service today
from its high power radio station on the Spencer Building. The
equipment which Mr. Louis Wasmer, recognized in the United States as
one of the foremost experts in the radiophone business, has personally
supervised in its erection and tests, has already proved to be one of
the finest on the coast. The World has entered the radio field so
thoroughly that the management is positive of the very best
results. The World Offices has been flooded with inquiries for
the receiving sets for homes and offices supplied by the Trans-Canada
Radiovox Company. And, more interesting still is the fact that
representative of the large mining companies and firms having branches
in the interiior, where telegraph connections are difficult and
expensive, have been begging for quick installation of powerful
receiving sets to assist communication.
World readers are most interested,
of course,in the set for the home. The $25.00 crystal detector
receiving set, supplied by The Daily World through the Trans-Canada
Radiovox Co., Ltd., is guaranteed to pick up the World broadcast for a
radius of 50 miles from Vancouver. It is sold for $25.00 and
includes one hundred feet of copper wire, for the aerial, head
telephones and the necessary government licence.
