Radio Exposition Ends, Pronounced Complete Success

From The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, September 27, 1925:  The first Indianapolis radio exposition signed off last night after a successful week.  More than 45,000 visitors ambled about the exhibit booths at Cadle Tabernacle since the doors opened Monday evening.  Herbert Luckey, president of the Broadcast Listeners Association, said exhibitors transacted over $100,000 (2024:  $1,826,571) in radio business during the show.  While Jerry Peter, a representative of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), said, “It was one of the most successful radio shows we have ever seen,” a radio fan declared this first exposition was “staticless” and harmonious” from start to finish.  Management, exhibitors, and entertainers expressed satisfaction, and plans are underway for next year’s which will be known as the Mississippi Valley radio exposition which will be enlarged with many more national concerns engaged in radio manufacturing expected to attend.
