PHILCO PREVIEW
GIVEN DEALERS
Southeastern Towns Rep
resented At Sales Meet
Held At Blue Top
Seventy Philco dealers from five
Southeastern North Carolina towns
last night previewed new home ra
dios and phonographs models in the
1948 line, plus other appliances at
the Blue Top Lodge.
The dealers were guests of
Buck’s Distributing company,
wholesale distributors for Philco
products.
The meeting was opened by Walt
er Eichelberger, ' salesmanager of
the Philco corporation, who an
nunced that Philco sales amounted
to over $100,000,000 for the first
half of 1947, the biggest year in
the company’s history.
Eichelberger demonstrated the
new features of the 1948 home
radio and phonograph line, includ
ing 13 console and four table radio
phonographs, a portable automatic
record player, a new radio port
able, 16 table radio models, and
three farm radio receivers.
Herb Riband, of Philco advertis
ing, described the new model 773
refrigerator, and introduced the
five new Philco automobile radio
models, designed for greater clari
ty, tone, power and performance
than any previous auto radio.
Riband outlined the program by
Philco which will include increased
newspaper advertising, radio and
national magazine campaigns. He
stressed the fact that Philco, al
ready doing by far the greatest
amount of advertising in the radio
and appliance industry, plans to
step up its program still further
during the coming year.
cal Simmons-Nott airport is made
adequate to meet requirements of
the Civil Aeronautics association
for the large, four-engine, 46-pas
senger planes with which the com
pany is replacing its twin-engine,
14-passenger Lodestars.
If the airline company will as
sure prompt resumption of local
service, local leaders say they
hope to extend the runways in or
der to be able to handle the larger
planes.

PROTEST ON HOUSE
RENUMBERING HERE
Despite considerable publicity
and a meeting at which residents
were invited to protest before the
change was voted, many house- '
holders do not like the change in 1
Wilmington’s street numbering.
That was learned yesterday at
the city council session when both
J. E. L. \yade and Ronald Lane
related that residents in the 100
block on Harrison street had com
plained to them over the chang
ing in the numooring of dwellings.
Three weeks ago a council meet
ing was held to hear protests
When, no persons appeared and
only one written protest was re
ceived the council vo’ed to go
ahead with renumbering of hous
es to make the city’s street num
bers uniform.
Uncle Sam's postal officials
have approved the plan of uniform
numbering which is in use in
virtually every first class city in
the nation.
Nevertheless, the city fathers
proved very accomodating to dis
gruntled residents yesterday and
voted City Manager J. R. Benson
