BiographyAvnet was born to a Jewish family in 1888 in Russia.[1][2][3] In 1921,[4] Avnet began buying surplus ham radio parts and selling them to the public on Radio Row in the lower Manhattan[1] capitalizing on the end of the World War I era ban on the trade of radio parts in 1918.[2] He had $85,000 in sales in his first year.[1] With the advent of commercial radio broadcasting and factory-made radios (which did not require parts), he adjusted his distribution pipeline and began selling parts to manufacturers and dealers.[2] In 1929, he diversified by branching out into car antenna kits and automobile assembly kits. During the Great Depression, he shifted the focus from retailing to wholesaling.[2] During World War II, sales to the private sector were banned, so Avnet shifted to government sales[4] with an emphasis on connectors.[2] After the war, the market was flooded with war surplus components and Avnet flourished incorporating as Avnet Electronics Supply Co Inc in 1955 reaching $1 million in sales.[4] In 1959, the company went public as Avnet Electronics Corporation.[4] Personal lifeHe was married to Celia Avnet.[3] They had four children: Lester Francis Avnet, Dr. Norman Avnet, Robert Avnet, and Lillian Marks.[5][6] He died in 1979; services were held at Congregation Beth Sholom in Long Beach.[3] His grandson (son of Lester) is director, writer and producer Jon Avnet.[7] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JgxX1axe4KMC&pg=PA143&lpg=PA143&dq=charles+avnet+ruthless&source=bl&ots=WjEZfqRCeA&sig=bZ6qhSd5tEvClmCUYfDXqU11OSI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjEqKTc0LfYAhUn04MKHeUlDBUQ6AEIOjAD#v=onepage&q=charles%20avnet%20ruthless&f=falsee|first1=Thomas|last1=Hall|first2=Bock|last2=Wally|authorlink=|title=Ruthless Focus|pages= |publisher=|date=May 12, 2010|ISBN=9781608446384}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Avnet, Charles}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web| title =Charles Avnet and the Golden Age of Radio | work = Avnet|url = http://www.avnet.com/ctf_shared/sta/df3df3usa/50th_book-chapter_1.pdf |accessdate=2007-12-14}} 3. ^1 2 [https://www.nytimes.com/1979/12/26/archives/obituary-1-no-title.html New York Times: "AVNET‐Charles‐Beloved husband of Celia.
