"Delivering the Goods"

Fine Tribute to Company’ . Service wae FEELING that it was his duty to’ express his appreciation of Mr. H. Cottrell’s recent talk on the gannets of Cape Kidnappers, Mr. R, 0. O’Connor, of the Te Aro Book Depot, Courtenay Place , Wellington, recently wrote to the Broadcasting Company. In so doing, he made reference to the proadeasting service in general. Specialising as he does in wireless literature, with customers throughout New Zealand, the Te Aro Book De ot is a rendezvous for most of the Woyp gton radio fans, so Mr. O’Connor’s "remarks are particularly interesting. In the course of his letter to the general manager of the Broadcasting Company, he says: "J wish to express to your company my heartfelt thanks for the way you arise to every special occasion. I bear in mind the All Blacks in South Africa, their recent ‘tour in Australia, the ‘Kingsford Smith event, and others too numerous to mention. It is just great, and you have my family’s and my own sincere thanks for your initiative and great service. Radigq has become as important in our household as the morning drop of milk. We would be lost without either , "Many an argument I have had with wireless customers in the past abqut the programmes put over. I counselied, patience, even although their license fee was but a penny a day. I am pleased to say, however, that I seldom now ever hear a complaint about 2YA stuff-indeed, many valve users have asgured me of late that 2YA is about. as good as the best in their experience, and I pass it on for what you may con sider it is worth. , .

"Possibly: the Radio Broadcasting Company may still be getting a kick or two from inconsiderate licensees who do not know your colossal task, and this humble testimony from a listenerin ‘of long standing will not be amiss. "Your company has our grateful thanks for the great pleasure you give us in our home, and we wish you continued growth and success, Personally, I am doing missionary work on every possible occasion, and your company can count on me.as being ready to argue the point about your d divering the goods." @ a egpanesempapnanammennasics J
