This reverse painted counter/desk sign is a terrific example of mid 1930's radio advertising/marketing. The glass is mounted on a thick piece of stained wood with a stand on the back so it can rest on a counter top. It must have been displayed with several Rogers radios at an electronic shop or department store.
Below are some late 50's - early 60's Rogers Majestic radios. At this point in time the famous Canadian Rogers company had been bought by Philips Electronics in Holland. The radios below were manufactured by Philips.
I do have some 1930's Rogers tube radios but have never gotten around to photographing them.
Rogers (Standard Radio Manufacturing) was a well established and historic Canadian Company. In 1924 the company founder Ted Rogers Sr. developed the first radio tube to operate on alternating current. In 1928 Standard Radio merged with the Grigsby-Grunow Company of Chicago, manufacturer of "Majestic" radios thus the name Rogers Majestic.
Ted Rogers Sr. died in 1939 and in 1941 Rogers radio was sold to Small Electric Motors Limited. In 1945 Small Electric Motors Limited was sold to Philips Electronics Ltd.

Freddie Merrill Zeiler.
2 Yrs 11 Months
Frederick Merrill Zeiler was born February 10, 1873, in Lexington, Lafayette County, Missouri, the son of John W. Zeiler and Sara F. (Clawson) Zeiler. He married Viola Pierson. Frederick committed suicide at Chicago's Edgewater Beach Hotel on May 31, 1927.
The following death notice for Frederick Merrill Zeiler appears in the June 1, 1927, issue of the Chicago Daily Tribune:
Fred M. Zeiler, Retired Broker Ends His Life
With a bullet wound to the head, the body of Frederick M. Zeiler, former head of a La Salle Street brokerage firm bearing his name, was found late yesterday afternoon in a room at the Edgewater Beach hotel, where he had registered Sunday. A pistol was found in the room.
Friends asserted last night, however, that they knew no reason that would have impelled him to take his own life, although they disavowed authentic knowledge of his financial condition. Bart L. Norton, general manager of his old firm, F. M. Zeiler & Co., 209 La Salle street, said Mr. Zeiler recently had suffered a nervous breakdown.
Maid Finds the Body.
The body was discovered by a maid, who went in to clean the room. Later the police were notified. Employes of the hotel said they had last seen the broker alive Monday evening.
On Jan. 1, 1926, Mr. Zeiler retired from the firm he had founded in 1913. The name was retained, however, with John W. Douglass, F. R. Wilkinson, and T. R. Benson as partners.
"He got out because he wanted to," said Mr. Douglass. "I don't known definitely, but I had reason to believe he was in good financial circumstances. On Feb. 1 of this year he formed a trading connection with Frazier, Jelke & Co., but I do not think he was very active. I saw him but three weeks ago and he seemed to be quite cheerful then."
Wife Away on Trip.
With his wife, Mrs. Viola Pierson Zeiler, and a son, Frederick Jr., Mr. Zeiler lived at the Sovereign hotel. Mrs. Zeiler was absent on an automobile trip to Wisconsin. Her son could give the police only meager information tending to show cause for suicide. At the Edgewater Beach hotel it was said the broker frequently registered there for a few days at a time.
Mr. Zeiler was a native of Lexington, Mo., and came to Chicago in 1894. He became head of his own firm in 1898 and in 1913 formed the present Zeiler firm by merging three brokerage concerns.

This photograph was taken by Thomas D. Saunders, a well-known photographer of Lexington, Lafayette County, Missouri. Saunders was born in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri, on August 16, 1831, and passed away in Lexington on July 31, 1898.
Louise (DeMotte) Letherman was born August 21, 1859, in Valparaiso, Porter County, Indiana, the daughter of Mark L. DeMotte and Elizabeth (Christy) DeMotte. She married Lawrence Letherman on May 3, 1883, in Valparaiso. Louise died at Malden, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, on September 24, 1905. Louise is buried in Valparaiso's Maplewood Cemetery.
Mark Lindsey DeMotte was born in Rockville, Parke County, Indiana, on December 28, 1832, the son of Daniel DeMotte and Mary (Brewer) DeMotte. He graduated from Asbury University (now DePauw University) in Greencastle, Putnam County, Indiana, with an A.B. degree in 1853 and immediately began studying law at this institution, earning his law degree (LL.B.) in 1855. DeMotte was soon admitted to the Indiana bar and began his practice of law at Valparaiso, Porter County, Indiana.
In December 1856, Elizabeth Christy wedded DeMotte in Valparaiso, a union that resulted in two children, Louise and Mary.
DeMotte would serve in the Civil War rising to the rank of captain under the command of General Robert H. Milroy. At the conclusion of the war, DeMotte moved to Lexington, Lafayette County, Missouri, to resume his practice of law. He was an unsuccessful Republican candidate for Congress in the 1872 and 1876 elections.
DeMotte returned to Valparaiso in 1877 to practice law and would organize the Northern Indiana Law School in 1879, which later became known as the Valparaiso University School of Law (which went defunct in 2020).
DeMotte would again be a Republican candidate for Congress, winning the election of 1880, but would lose as an incumbent in the 1882 election. He would then serve in the Indiana State Senate between 1886 and 1890. He was appointed the postmaster of Valparaiso serving from March 24, 1890, to March 20, 1894. He would also serve as dean of the Northern Indiana Law School from 1890 to 1908.
DeMotte passed away on September 23, 1908, in Valparaiso and was interred in Maplewood Cemetery in that community.

One final aspect of the seated figure of Caligula on the consensv dupondius is worth examining. Could Caligula have been the first living princeps to ever appear radiate on Roman coinage? B.E. Levy. in her article entitled "Caligula's Radiate Crown," finds traces of a radiate crown on two pieces: One in the Princeton University Library; the other in a private collection. Some scholars believe this theory strengthens the argument that the seated figure is Augustus and not Caligula. H.M. Von Kaenal advanced this interpretation of the dupondii this way: His first argument is that on some of the reverses you could identify Caligula's features; secondly, that the reverse legend iis suited to certain events of his accesion. As Dio tells us, the event was altered by an erruption into the senate- house of equites et populus, and in Von Kaenal's view it is to this, and not the award of an honorific statue, that the legend CONSENSV SENAT ET EQ ORDIN P Q R must refer. H. Kuthmann brings even stronger evidence of the reverse type not being Augustus when he suggests that on pre-Flavian coins the curule chair is the seat of the living princeps, while that of DIVUS Augustus is a throne. This is strong evidence that the seated figure is that of Caligula. (Interestingly, Kuthmann identifies the seated figure as Claudius.)
Levy brings further evidence to light when she suggests that the bronze provincial issues of at least three or four mints show Caluigula with radiate attribution (one from Alexandria, but this issue may represent Helios.) Another issue from the province of Asia shows a spikey Hellenistic crown. Even stronger evidence that the radiate crown did exist can be seen on consensv dupondii , where the die engraver shortened the vertical bar on the T in ET to accomadate the crown, while the entire letter T is slightly raised in the second Princeton piece. Levy mentions that the radiate crown is neglected in descriptions which follow illustrations in catalouges. In specifically looking for the radiated crown on the consensv dupondii, There are at least three issues that have been found via the art trade. It has been suggested that the radiate crown is occasionally used on Roman coinage to distinguish a newly elevated Emperor. Thus, the Roman radiate crown was not a true piece of insignia: Its meaning was flexible and its use optional.

The seated NCO is a medic, easily identifiable by the patch on his right sleeve.
The individual standing directly behind him is an officer, who is wearing the standard issue black leather tunic with collar insignia in the shape of an early automobile. He looks as if he's been enlisted to assist with some kind of medical procedure on the kraftfahrer with the bandaged head.

The blanket covering a dead k.u.k. soldier has been pulled aside to allow the body to be photographed prior to burial, as if it was to be used later as evidence of some crime. Bandages cover the fallen soldier's hands and feet, which suggest to me he was suffering frost-bite prior to dying.
The Austro-Hungarian Army was in poor shape when it invaded Serbia in July 1914. Having a dual Monarchy was problematic in that all decisions regarding equipping the army had to be run past both the Austrians and Hungarians, leading to a slow, inefficient supply system.
