FIN" brings to a listening world
an entirely new conception of Radio
enjoyment. Now, for the first time
in the history of radio, you can en-
JOY music in its full natural color.
Your favorite program will pour
from the speaker with all the rich
natural tones of personal perform
ances. The delicate musical shad-
ings, the slightest change in inflec-
ton of speaker-these true-to-life
sounds that you have never heard
over AM radio will be yours in FIN
with beautiful, brilliant, full fidelity
tone.
Static, Interference, Fading
When you listen to your favorite
program as reproduced by F. NJ,
you will hear it crystal clear. Even
through the hardest storm filled
with ear-splitting static caused by
lightning. If motors, x-ray ma
chimes and all other man-made
noises keep piling up and spelling
the enjoyment of standard AM lis
tening, your FIN radio will bring
you perfect reception free from all
these annoying disturbances. With
FIN static is just thing of the past.
You will realize, the first time you
hear FIN, what real beauty in music
you have missed with your standard
radio. 1t is true you got fair re-
production of music and voice
through your standard, or AM
broadcast, but admittedly lacking
the full rich natural tone quality
you are now able to hear with FIN.
