C. Crane's radio division began soon after Bob and Sue Crane moved from
the San Francisco Bay Area to the beautiful and remote Redwood Country
of far Northern California. As they settled into Fortuna, nestled in the heart
of the Redwoods, Bob tried to tune in his favorite Bay-Area radio stations,
and was shocked. There were only a few radio stations available until
nighttime arrived and thats when the AM dial came alive. Around that time,
Bob spent many hours during the day at a drafting table and found that he
missed listening to KGO, San Francisco so much while he was working that
his drafting and designs were slowing down.
After about a year of searching, the Cranes found a simple antenna for AM
that gave them fantastic AM reception - even through the trees - and they
knew they had to get the word out. So, they decided to expand their
company to market this wonderful antenna. They advertised the antenna
on the radio, and after a few learning experiences, the C. Crane radio
division was up and running.
That was over 30 years ago. Bob, Sue and Grandma Faye were the first
phone operators. Their customers quickly taught them what they wanted in
the way of products and services, and with their input, Bob and Sue grew
C. Crane into a family-based business guided by strong ethics.
Since selling their first AM antenna, C. Crane has become a premier
electronics company. We have developed several radios to serve radio
listeners that prefer information, talk radio and audio tuned for voice clarity.
After several near 7.0 earthquakes, in 1992 we added radio and light
products that would become essentials during an emergency event
anywhere in the country.
Thanks for choosing C. Crane. The items included in the C. Crane Catalog
are always either the best of their class or the best for the money. All of
C. Crane's products must pass extensive testing to main tain high quality
standards.
And as for the mysterious letter "C" in C. Crane, well, Bob and Sue's middle
names both begin with the letter "C", thus the name C. Crane.
