Nice piece. Gotta love the typewritten term "airplane mail".
Here's the history of the addressee, Experimenter Publishing Co. of New York, publisher of "Radio News":

Quote:
The largest expenses for a magazine publisher are paper and printing. The publisher has to print enough copies to supply every outlet. At the end of the month the distributor would return the unsold copies to the publisher for a credit. Experimenter Publishing had 4 or 5 monthly magazines so this was a considerable expense.
