RUGGED TESTS
That's why, before a new pack
ing is adopted, Philcos for export
are rolled down three flights Of
stairs, dropped to the floor at diff
ferent angles and generally kicked
around. If the sets can stand
that punishment-and still sing
they're good enough for export.
Last year the export business in
Philco sets was Is per cent greater
than the previous year. The
present year, 1897, will show at
least a SO per cent gain over 1896,
Mr.. Crainer said. Better still, he
points out, the average export
sales dollar unit is steadily climb
ing; this means that Philco GUS
toners abroad can afford to spend
a little more.

PhilcO Tonnage
Important Factor

A total of 1890 tons of freight
were hauled in and out of Philco
radio plants in Philadelphia dur.
ing the last IL months by rail and
truck.
That tonnage would fill 10,02S
railroad freight cars, o. train
length of II miles. Just one years
transportation volume! On that
basis, Philco has used the equiva.
lent of $4,000 freight cars during
the nine years it has been in the
radio business :. or a train more
than $50 miles long.

The new Philco Double x, which

radio history. This inclined con-

PROUD OF RECORD
Philco is proud of it's record and
points to the fact that it has built
and sold more than 5000 900
radio sets since 1929. Being ex.
clusively in the radio business,
Philco concentrates 100 per cent
on radio and therefore puts a max.
imum amount of research and de.
velopmnet into each seasons line.
Among the features of the new
model, which Philco brings to it's
1888 radio fans, is the "Cone-Cen-
trio" automatic tuning.
Although entirely automatic,
the tuning made possible by this
new feature is so perfect that it
defies the competition of manual
tuning.
And it is so accurate it permits
the setting of stations so that they
can be automatically tuned to one

increase in radio set sales means
less repairs on old sets because
most set sales today are replace
ments.
There is a very significant
feature involved in our i'm
proved demand; it very definite
ly means that there is a strong
trend away from nongenuine
parts. Radio set owners are
realizing that a set can function
satisfactorily only when it's
