FROM THE BIGGEST
ORCHESTRION
Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay appear to
be our best markets in South America for radio
apparatus and from all indications a large volume of
business can be expected during the remainder of
the year.
Exports to Mexico, Central America and the West
Indies appear to be increasing slowly but steadily
and business with these countries during 1927 should
be reasonably good, although very large sales are not
to be expected on account of adverse climatic condi-
tions, absence of satisfactory broadcasting stations,
and the low purchasing power of the people.
Of our total exports of radio apparatus during 1926,
