Many Possibilities
 To Turn In Old Sets
Modern Radio Is Essential Part of Living Room Furni- ture Plan Today-Many Homes Are Being Equip.
 ped With Two or More Radios

7, ing room radio which is the most conspicuous and most often used piece of furniture in the house.
 There are any number of ways in which you can dispose of the old set that has become so con- spicuous because 1t has been out moded-and to the decided advan- tage of your purse, your family's pleasure, and your own position among your friends.
 Liberal Trade-Ins.
 First of course is the immedl- ate possibility of turning in the old set to the dealer from whom you are going to buy your new 1888 model as down-payment or part payment on the new radio.
 Liberal trade-in terms are being allowed to help make it possible for families to equip their home with brand new models. Any deal- CT participating in the city-wide radio progress section will be ready to quote trade-in terms for you. |
 But there are still other things to be done with the old-fashioned radio now in your home-things that may prompt you to give up the idea of turning in your old set. things that may prompt you to come to the conclusion that you want to keep it.
 There are the children, for ex- ample, who have grown a few years older since you first bought that old set, and who now depend upon radio broadcasting for some of the modern education that Is rightfully theirs.
 You may be frequently annoyed of late because you may want to hear one program at the same time your youngsters discover they are required to listen to cn entirely different program about which they may have to write a theme for school.
 Solving Two Problems
 Here's a perfect opportunity to solve two problems at one stroke: provide the children with a radio for their own room while you get new 1888 receiver for the llv- room.
 Put the older set in their bed- room or in the library, where they may tune in the programs they must listen to for their school work, while you and your guests enjoy another program coming over the fine new set in your liv- ing room.
 Perhaps you would prefer to get brand new little table model for the children, or maybe one for each, If there is a boy or @ girl in the family. The old radio will go @ long way toward helping to pay for these new smaller models.
 But there are still other uses to which the old radio can be put, without considering a trade- in.
 The growing popularity of the playroom in the modern home gives rise to this other use for the old radio. Perhaps your play. room is in the basement or 1t may be in the attic. Tn either event 1t probably is not now equipped with e radio - and yet, what more appropriate place in all the house is there for a ra- dio than in the room dedicated to fun.
 The radio that is to be used in that room need not be a fine new 1888 model. It can be the set now in your living room, that you can move down to the playroom when you install the new model up- stairs. Yes, it's best to think twice before getting rid of the old ra- dio though you are going to get one of the new models.
 Or For the Maid
 Think again and perhaps you'll discover that 1t will be e profit able gesture to move the old set into the maids room If you do not know what else to do with it. Giving the maid the old ra- dio for her private use would 90 e long way toward keeping her in a pleasant frame of mind. That's quite important in these days when good domestic help Is hard to keep.
 Think again and maybe you'll remember an old couple of means too modest to buy their own ra- dio, who may have been old em- ployes of yours or who in the past have become endeared through some friendly gesture. Why not give them the old radio? There's an investment in happiness.
 Yes there are indeed many things that can be done with the old set you're going to replace with Q new 1888 model. The rec. ords show that there are some doing yeoman's service today that really ought to be just plain junked.
 For those who own e real an- tique, don't let this season go by without replacing 1t.
