Talking Machine World, December 1928
Here is a list of Rhode Island Radio Stores as listed in the Rhode Island Radio Fans Handbook from 1925 plus my additions.
It is amazing how many radio stores there were in Rhode Island in 1925. Here is a list of 231 stores with 98 in Providence alone. The population in Rhode Island in 1925 was 680,000 1 people. With an avarage family size of 4.2 2 people in 1925, that comes out to one store for every 701 families!
This statment, on August 2nd 1931, by Dr. Julius Klein, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, while predicting the possibility of a $6,000,000,000 radio industry rising out of the current depression tells it all. "Radio sets are most irregularly distributed, some states having but 5% or 6% of their homes so equipped, while Rhode Island has 57% and Connecticut almost 55%. Rhode Islanders loved Radio! 3
