Around since 1934, Newark Electric
is one of the longest-surviving electronic component mail order businesses. In the
days before Digi-Key
(founded in 1972), Newark was my go-to source for parts I needed ASAP.
Allied Electronics
(earlier
Allied
Radio), around since 1928, was my second choice. There was no Internet, so the
fastest service was had by calling in your order - while paying a long-distance
toll. U.S. Post Office and United Postal Service (UPS, since 1907;
my Uncle Brian drove their trucks from Buffalo to/from Cleveland for 40 years) were
the two prime delivery service of the era (FedEx came online in 1973). Reportedly,
its first paper-format catalog was mailed out in 1948, two years after this full-page
ad appeared in Radio-Craft magazine. Newark now goes by the name of Newark
element14 (the 14th element in the periodic table happens to be silicon). The
"About Us" webpage (on the farnell.com
website) shows Newark and Newark element14 (in Asia) as being Avnet companies.
In 1946 there were many hometown electronics parts outlets that included repair
shops, hardware stores, and department stores, so much of what a person needed was
available locally.
