In 1920, Powel Crosley, an auto accessories manufacturer in Cincinnati, OH, set out to purchase a simple radio set for his son. Shocked to learn that these sets were selling for $130.00 or more, he decided to build one himself, which he did — for $35.00. From that experience, Crosley went on to build one of the most successful electronics companies of the early 20th century. Crosley's first radio was a crystal Set named "Harko", introduced as the first low priced radio at $20.00 retail, it later sold for $9.00. A roaring success, the Harco was recognized for making radio available to the masses. Earned Powel Crosley the reputation "The Henry Ford of Radio".
