For 1934, when other manufacturers were still eating Philco's dust, Philco sold 1,250,000 radios. The next-best maker (RCA) sold 500,000, followed by Crosley, General Household Utilities (auto radios) and Sears Roebuck at 300,000 each, three more at 200,000 and the rest at 100,000 or less.
Not too shabby for a company that only began making radios in 1928.
