what radio has really accomplished.
Particularly with regard the much heralded lighting
socket radio, there is demand for more information.
People want TO know Is it safe TO buy now?
Shall discard old now wait?
And which sets have passed out of the experimental
stage?
Il thorough comparative research
has produced the ANSWERS
The answers cannot easily be cleaned from the mass
of advertising that assails the radio buyer today
claims sound alike on paper But they have been ex-
hausrvey studied in laboratoywhere every important
development of RADIO of all makes and Sorts has been
tested and weighed and valued.
And it is the basis of this comparative research
that the Radio Corporation of America has been
phaszng the greatest achievement Of modern radio

And the greatest achievement in musical reproduction
