for Sleepy Listener.

Radio, almost solely entertaining
to date, promises to undertake an
additional and more useful function
this year-that of lulling the radio
equipped family to sleep at night
and waking it up in the morning.
This serious business is effected
by means of a telechron all-electric
clock, feature of one of the 1881
Silvertone models sold by Sears,
Roebuck 81 Co.
The clock is run by electricity,
needs no winding and never stops,
even when the radio is turned off.
1t is built into the cabinet, and
when secondary dials, joined to both
clock and set, are adjusted, the
radio will turn on or off any speci-
fed time, in ten-minute intervals.
