Re broad coverage issues:

 

the Grigsby-Grunow company had started in 1921 as a maker of automotive accessories - were they successful at this? What kind of accessories did they sell? How big was their selling area? If Grigsby-Grunow was only in business for 13 years, then this pre-radios period was about half of that. So even if it's not what they are now remembered for, it could use a little more description than it has here.

Did the Majestic Household Utilities subsidiary do well? Poorly? Were the refrigerators they made thought well of from an engineering perspective?

Majestic Radio & Television reorganized again after filing for bankruptcy on October 24, 1939. - the article doesn't explain what led up to this failure.

 

as well as the lack of success in television manufacturing. - other than the company name, this is the first indication the article has given that they were trying to make televisions too. It could use a little elaboration.

 

Otis Boykin and George Switzer (mineralogist) both worked for Majestic Radio & Television Corporation at some point, anything worth adding to the article around them?
