THE SCHULENBURG STICKER, SCHULBNBURG, TEXAS
is become such a reg-
Er part of our daily Jife that
many of us-are inclined to take
it for granted—just n.s we ta^e
the daily newspapers, the auto*
mobile, and the telephone as a
matter of course. And yet radio
broadcasting, as we know it to-
day, has been in existence only
five short years. On November
2, 1920, the first regular radio
program was broadcasted from
Station KDKA of the Westing-
house Electric & Manufacturing
Company, located at East Pitts-
burgh, Pa. Today tnere are
nearly 600 radio broadcasting
stations in operation in this
country. Of these," the Radio
Corporation of America and man
ufacturing associates—the Gen-
eral Electric Company and the
Westinghouse Electric & Manu-
facturing Company—operate a
chain of ten powerful radio broad
casting stations reaching all the
way across the United States of
America from the Atlantic to the
Pacific Coast.
The young men of this country
have played a very important
part in the development of radio
and their share in the extension
of the radio art will be even more
significant in the futuie than it
has been in the past. Many of
the startling improvements
■which have been made in radio
receiving sets are the result of
discoveries made by amateurs
and boy experimenters. There-
fore, in an effort to obtain ideas
which can be used to improve
radio broadcasting, the Radio
Corporation of America will give

and ideas on radio broadcasting.

Gonzales, Texas,
March 5th., 1926.
Dear Mr. Bosl:
Enclosed find check for
$2.00 in payments of the Sticker.
"VVe are always glad to get'th
paper and read its news. It will
take a long time before (if ever)
we will forget the kindness of
the good Schulenburg people.
Things are looking better this
year than they did last year.
We are looking forward for a
great year in every respect.
I believe in giving flowers to a
loan while he is still alive. I
want to congratulate you upon
your splendid paper. I am glad
to see that you are not afraid to
speak the truth. Second, the af-
fairs of the city stand always in
the foreground- Keep the good
work going and you will never
regret it in time to come.
Wishing you great success
with the Sticker and also with
the new paper bought of late.
Yours fraternally,
O. C. Raeke.
We know the sentiments ex-
pressed above are absolutely
mutual, the people of this section
love and respect Rev. Raeke and
feel toward him as dearly as any
brother.
The Editor is deeply grateful
for these words of praise, and
sincerely hope that such stands
as we must take on certain
points at times are not miscon-
strued, but indorsed by all the
people, we have no axe to grind,
no personal motive, but trying
to render to the people a service
which every editor should re-
gard as his sacred right and not
be afraid to express himself. Re-
gardless of the fact that it may
cost him hundreds of dollars
worth of business as it has done
us at times. Yet we have no re-
grets, wejiave principals which
mean more to any he man than
a few paultry pennies. We had
a thousand times rather have the
love and respect of one honest
God fearing man, than the
enemnlty of a dozen rascals.
