Excerpts from "THE STORY OF THE SHOWERS CONSOLA"
. . . . . . . In the spring of 1925, the Showers Brothers Company
(a furniture manufacturer in Bloomington, Indiana) ventured into the new
field of radio when W. Ed. Showers, who was now at the helm of the company,
began to notice that there was a growing popularity for radio tables and
radio console cabinets. . . . . . . .
During the summer of 1926, a temporary laboratory was set up in on
corner of the company's auditorium but, later, would be permanently moved
to the south end of packing plant # 4. Showers hired two radio engineers,
Ralph Cutts and Charley Hotchkiss to work in the laboratory and develop
the new radio receiver. . . . . . . .
