Great Demand Anticipated
for improved New
Models.

During the twelve months be-
tween June, 1928, and June, 1929,
the Atwater Kent Manufacturing
Company, Philadelphia, will produce
at least one million radio receiving
sets
This company, since it adopted
radio as one of its products in 1922,
practically has doubled its output
each year, until today, nearly two
millions of it's sets are in use in
this country and abroad, and almost
an equal quantity of radio speakers.
The seventeen acres of Atwater
Kent factories in Philadelphia have
undergone considerable changes in
the various departments the past
few months preparatory to pro-
ducing this enormous output and
also to insure continuance of &C
curacy and precision in manufac-
ture. The number of inspection
tests has been increased to two
hundred and twenty-five.
A new line of sets and speak
ers was introduced at the Radio
Manufacturers Association show in
Chicago. 1t consists of three new
all-electric sets, three speakers and
two new battery-type sets. Recently
a Model So console also was an
nounced.
Model 40 is a compact, efficient,
six-tube receiver, entirely self-con-
tanned and with but one dial for
station selection. Model - is
equipped with a voltage control or
regulator, which automatically gov
erns the amount Of power input, and
is intended especially for use in 10
calities where there is a decided

f1uctuation in current. Model A is
a powerful seven-tube set, similar to
Model AZ.
The new sets have greater selec-
tivity, improved tone quality and
are pleasing in appearance.
Featured with these new model
sets, are three speakers, models E,
E-2 and E-3. They are all of the
magnetic type. The largest (model
Ed and the medium size (model
Ed have the free-edge cone. The
smallest Cmodel ED has the held
edge cone. Prices of all three are
the same.
Model So is a beautiful. compact,
all metal console, containing No.
AZ receiver and Atwater Kent
speaker. completely contained. This
is likely to become one the most
popular of the Atwater Kent sets.

ATWATER KENT
DEALERS READY
FOR BUSY YEAR
capital Paper Firm Predicts
Record Radio Sales
This Season.

In anticipation of the greatest
telling season in the history OF
A<adio, the Atwater Kent division OF
the Capitol Paper Company has
Just completed arrangements for
handling a record breaking radio
business. This company, with
headquarters at 221-227 w. South
St, is the youngest Atwater Kent
distributor in the territory.
1t is an institution with forty
years of experience in wholesale dis
tribution and is putting this &C
cumulative experience to work in
the merchandising of Atwater Kent
sets. The company occupies a
building of $4,000 square feet Of floor
space which includes the finest
radio testing laboratory in the
State.
r An experienced Atwater Kent ex-
pert is in charge of this department,
which is operated primarily as a
service to dealers. Under the same
roof is the Capitol Paper Company IS
radio display room with complete
line OF AtWater Kent sets, Pooley
cabinets and Red Lion cabinets.
Offer Special Service
Facilities also have been installed
for customers desiring the consulta-
ton rooms, stenographic and phone
service while in the building. A
private switch capable of handling
three feright cars at time is con-
nected with the warehouse.
The Capitol Paper Company has
set up complete nter-dependent
organization for the handling of ats
radio business with separate de-
partmentS for the conducting of
sales, credit, stock and service.
s. G. Kahn, secretary treasurer,
Is in active charge of the radio de-
partment with three field managers
working under him: A. j. Allen.
Paul j. Nugent and Charles Price.
The service department is under
the personal supervision of Ralph
Reed; shipping by Marion Cass, and
orders and correspondence by Walk
er Burgess.
Lauds Atwater Kent
1. F. Kahn, president of the Can
itol Paper Company, states that his
company turned to the handling of
Atwanter Kent radioes because he
believes that they represent the
ideal combination for the creation
OF successful selling, according to
Kahn.
"Atwater Kent sets are undoubted-
ly the sets in greatest demand to-
day. In addition, careful research
convinceS us that they are also the
sets of leading quality. Besides this,
the tremendous production made
possible by the expansion of the
AtWater Kent factory to. the point
where it is now the largest radio
factory in the world, occupying 1515
acres, has resulted in production
economics which enable Atwater
Kent to produce a set to sell at a
flower price than is being asked for
larry other set of comparable quail
1ty.
This combination of widest de-
mand, high quality and biggest
value-giving represents an ideal
sales set-up and one which COM
pany OF our long experience was
quick to grasp. Sensing the ire
mendous sales which must result
from such a combination of factors,
we have thrown the full resources of
our insti iution back of the Atwater
Kent product, and have established
a radio department which we do
not believe is excelled by that of
any other distributor in the United
States"
