1899 Radio Sets Show
Many improvements

Again this year radio surpasses
itself by incorporating into the new
1899 sets new developments and
novel ideas in set manufacture. Ra-
do Retailing, leading trade papers
says. "The 1899 lines we have seen
contained the most outstanding and,
In fact stupendous values that have
ever been shown in any Of the var
ious accepted price brackets.
"The fact Is Of inestimable i'm
portance! It means that the manu.
facturers have found ways and
means for producing sets that are
extraordinary in appearance fea-
lures and performance"
According to local radio dealers.
technical improvements are many,
and although many technical
changes are not understandable to
the average radio listener, they do
assure listening perfection, includ-
ing clarity, fidelity, lifelike realism
and power.
With foreign and local affairs po-
litically and economically at at boil
Ing point. new sets, according to
manufacturers and dealers, will be
an important addition to every
home inasmuch as new models,
properly installed, will pick up a
wide range Of stations. Short wave
reception is featured this year on
all principal makes of sets.
Features emphasized in various
OF the new sets include triple range
accustical labyrinth, electric flash
tuning, automatic antenna switch,
crystal pickup, improved electric
tuning, master noise eliminator, and
automatic program pre-selector
which selects programs in advance
for an entire 24-hour period.

Television has been much discuss
ed of late but Radio Retailing
spokesman for the industry has this
to say There Is no real news on
Television. Current experimental
broadcasting can be Of interest only
to those living within a radius of
1850 miles Of the station. The
are has not advanced to a point
where programs can be broadcast
to the whole nation without the in
vestment Of staggering sums. No one
knows where the money is to come
from for financing stations and the
tremendous cost Of programs. All
dealers everywhere should advise
their customers that they cannot
expect to receive television pro-
grams unless a television broadcast
station has been erected and Is OPP
Grating within 1850 miles Of the
point where the set Is to be used.
