According to a former employee an Armstrong license was acquired already in 1920, and an ad stated in October 1920 that Radio Shop's sets were licensed.
In December 1922 the Echo Radio Corp. was formed and the name "The Radio Shop" dropped from sight. The Radio Shop itself continued to exist for legal reasons, since the Armstrong license was not transferrable. Everything went over to Echophone. |
