As publisher his goal was to support the radio and television servicing industry with easy to understand reference materials.
[1] [2] Morris Beitman received his BS in Mathematics at Illinois Institute of Technology and later served in the military as an engineer with the US Army Signal Corps.
His known pre- and post-military career was a teacher in the Chicago public high schools as radio instructor.
[5] In time these servicing manuals became quite large and contained information on radios that were not common or were produced in small quantities.
Although Rider's Perpetual Troubleshooter's Manual became a standard reference during the 1930s, the size and bulk of these yearly volumes could become a hindrance.
These books offered radio and television repair businesses a condensed version of Rider's "Perpetual Troubleshooter's Manual", by only providing models that were common or made in large quantities.
It is also possible that Supreme Publications was a side business for Morris Beitman since he was also a radio instructor in the Chicago high schools.
In the 1950s, like John F. Rider, Beitman had to revise many of his publications due to rapid changes in technology used in consumer electronics.
In the 1960s his son Hartford assisted him in Supreme Publications by continuing the yearly service volumes for radio and television.
Hartford spent time to straighten these matters and compiled the "1967-1969 Most Often Needed Radio Diagram and Servicing Information" book.
[11] Radio collecting and restoration books suggest using Supreme's "Most-Often-Needed" volumes as a starting source to find information.
