CALLS CROSLEY
'TENSTR|KE'

Mr.. c. P. Hill, of the Double
day-Hill Electric Company, today
made an announcement of inter
est to owners of radio sets. He
said:
"At last CrOsley has built a
combination of the famous TO-
tube 'Tenstrike' in a table-mOdel
cabinet with a twO-tube, short
wave converter Incorporated.
There are IL tubes in all. Here
is, 1 believe, the greatest per-
forming, finest table-mOdel radio
ever built, a radio so remark
able in value and performance
that it must be seen and heard
to be appreciated, radio that
every real radio fan will cOvet
as soon as he sees it.
"With this astonishing re-
ceiver, CrOsley is presenting
unique method of mounting the
speaker, making possible a cabi-
net of unusual cOmpactneSS for
a powerful 12-tube radio of this
type. Instead of mounting the
speaker in the conventional
manner, requiring a great
amount of space, it is bOlted to
the cabinet top, the grille being
part of the top. Some other
features are meter tuning, auto
matte volume control, cOntinu-
Gus (stepIess)' static and tone
control, push-pull pentOde out
put, superheterOdyne circuit, il
Illuminated dials with vernier
drives, and all the other i'm
provements that anyone would
expect to find in the finest of
radios"
This radio is on view at the
Doubleday-Hill Electric Company
show rooms at 715 Twelfth ST.

LAYS L|NOLEUM
IN Al STYLE

A. Zimmerman, head Of tie
Keystone Linoleum Company, of
sol G st. N. W., said recently:
"The satisfactory installation
of linOleum is the most import
ant part of the purchase. We
have found from years of ex-
perience in the sale and laying
of Americas best brands of
EnOlieums that the product is
only as good as its installation.
The best quality of IinOleum if
improperly laid, will exhibit none
of its advertised wearing quail
ties"
Mr.. Zimmerman declares he
has been in the linoleurn busi-
ness all his life and has found
the successful linoleum 1nstitu-
ton today must employ only ex-
pert workmen. His organization
has four such men who do moth
ing but install linoleum.
Some of Washington's finest
homes and largest business estab-
liShmentS have been linoleum-
serviced by the keystone firm.
Considerable work has been per-
sonally supervised by Mr.. KAN
norman for w. C. & A. N. Miller

antee, Mr.. Kammerman refuses
to accept payment for any job
