PERSONAL . . .

I have not had time to prepare a full report of our Hi-fi Party for this issue. As announced in last month's issue, we offered our Melbourne readers a chance to hear some exceptional reproduction. We expected that we would get an audience of fifty or sixty enthusiasts, but the demand for reservations was so heavy that we were forced to hold four parties, each packed to capacity. Which was very heartening in its way, but brought home to me again so strongly that it is a tough battle to be a one-man organization in the publishing business. With assistance, there is no limit to what can be done with the old "Radio World". I have a wide following which has been built up over many years, but I cannot do everything myself. So I cannot take advantage of the many opportunities offering. Already I have to do all the office work, editorial work, and the many details connected with the publication. I cannot pursue the advertising as well. Yet if I could get more advertising revenue, I could afford to run much bigger and better issues. My rates for advertising have not been advanced since 1936, offering exceptional value to the keen businessman, but I need the services of good advertising representatives to place these facts before those concerned. If there is any person connected with the advertising business who can handle "Radio World", even if in spare time or part time, I will be pleased to make him a generous proposition. A. G. HULL
