Crosley Radio

BiographyThe Crosley company was founded in 1921 by Powel Crosley. He believed he should offer the consumer a good quality set at the lowest possible price. He called his sets the 'Model T's' of radios. In 1923 Crosley bought out Precision Equipment. The company enjoyed success until the late 1920's.
