The first company to manufacture condensers (later known as capacitors,) was the Dubilier Company in New York. The Radio Condenser Company in Camden was started the following year. This float might have been for a July 4th parade, as the workers in white hold flags. The car has a large model of a condenser on top, with a sign identifying it as “The Heart of the Radio.” Indeed the condensers inaugurated the huge rise of the radio as communication and entertainment medium. 8 1/8 x 10 – inch toned gelatin silver print on board mount.
