NEW REFINEMENTS TOP l939 RADIOS
Engineers Bring Up TeCh= nical Phases to High
 Level of Perfection

Radio 1889!
 Radio with greater-than-ever sense of its responsibility toward its audiences of untold millions in every quarter of the world. With a new sense of its potentialities as a fac tor in human existence, and its op- portunitieS for the promotion of hu-
 man culture, new national sig nificance, new educational import ance, new entertainment imagina- ton.
 And keeping pace with this phase of radios giant growth-the science and art of radio manufacture. The year 1889 in radio engineering promises to be one of continued re- finement in all the important tech- nical elements which go into any kind of radio whatsoever, from the luxurious console that costs in the hundreds to the sturdy, knockabout set which even the high school age motorist believes to be an integral and indispensable part of his auto mobile.
 New Refinements
 Some years of radio engineering are marked by radical innovations which appear almost simultaneously throughout the industry. In 1888 1t was automatic tuning. Almost overnight, tuning methods of pre- vious years, going back practically to the days of the crystal set, be- | came obSoleScent. The compara- lively slow guesswork method of turning pointers even to the most frequently heard stations or systems gave way with amazing speed, to a dozen different ways of bringing in station instantly, by a flick of the finger, or the push of button, or the snap of a new kind of knob.
 As far as can be prophesied, ra- dio engineering has not developed any radical innovations for 1889, but rather it has concentrated on bring ing up all technical phases to a new high level of refinement and per- lection. Automatic tuning contin- ues to hold the spotlight automatic tuning that has greatly increased in convenience and precision over last years innovation status. A dozen new kinds of pushbuttons and simi- lar controls have been devised and perfected to a surprising new effici- ency, so that automatic tuning can now be had on practically the hum- hleSt of radio sets.

LINCOLN STORES
 GAYLY DECORATED

Each year, at Christmas time. Harry K1amkin, president of the Lincoln stores, located on West Main street, makes his store appear like Santa Claus's headquarters. This is especially true this year, for MT. Klamkin, has gone to great trouble to arrange his store so that it takes on a true picture of the Holiday spirit.
 The Lincoln stores feature access sories for automobiles such as tires, oils, and all other automobile access sories. In addition the store hail- dles high quality radios all of which are nationally advertised.
