FADA Radio and Electric Company Ad
January 1945 Radio News

January 1945 Radio News
January 1945 Radio News Cover - RF Cafe[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio & Television News, published 1919-1959. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

FADA Radio and Electric Company, of Long Island, New York, had a unique message for veterans returning from the throes of World War II. Rather than focus on the potential loss of "innocence" caused by exposure both to the horrors of war and the excitement and splendor of foreign cities, it appealed to a desire to forget about the glitz and glitter and come back home to help America convert its amazing technical and manufacturing base, borne out of desperate wartime need, into a thriving postwar, commercial economy. Many highly skilled tradesmen, architects, engineers, technicians, mechanics, communicators, instructors, doctors, nurses, accountants, seamstresses, welders, riveters, painters, packagers, cooks, cargo movers, planners, strategists, et al, were created in the four years previous to this 1945 Radio News magazine advertisement. As with many others in 1945, it reflected a feeling throughout the world that WWII was in its final days and services members as well as factory workers were thinking about what would come next. 

Note in the ad that Tokyo is spelled with an "i" rather than a "y."  Also, FYI, FADA comes from the initials of the company's founder, Frank Angelo D'Andrea.

FADA Radio Ad, January 1945 Radio News - RF CafeBack to the Farm

The song question of World War I was "How ya gonna kep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree?" This time after seeing Paris, Berlin, Salerno, Guadalcanal and Tokio, they'll welcome the American way of life.

FADA Radio, always an integral part of the American scene, is already planning to maintain and magnify its impress in the Postwar World. To span the new tasks of reconversion, FADA is expanding its research and engineering facilities in ceaseless quest of new and ingenious applications of war-gained knowledge ... knowledge to enhance the FADA electronic instruments looming on the near horizon.
