THE PERSONAL TOUCH There is another aspect of postwar radio trading which is now making itself felt. It appears that Mrs. Subbubb has been calling in the local radio repairman, Tommy Twistem, and she has become greatly impressed by the way he twiddles the knobs and cocks his head on one side whilst mouthing extraordinary technical phrases. In a nutshell, she has great confidence in his radio knowledge. Now, Mrs. Subbubb has decided that she needs a new set. Will she buy a "Multiplane Diallo" or a "Synthetic Atomiser?" She won’t have either; she insists that Tommy Twistem build her a special set of his own, built just the way he thinks a set ought to be built and put together with the same personal touch that kept the old set in such good form during the war years. Live radio dealers are making the most of the above set of circumstances, for they may not last long. The war period will soon fade into the dim past, especially when the big factories get their new plans into production, including horrible under-sized, under-powered midgets at retail prices of £10 and less. Such midgets are awful to contemplate, but apparently represent the heights of ambition to some factories. A. G. HULL.
