Description
Black and white 6 1/2″ x 10″ ad for the Assortment of Radios they were offering. The headline claims that the size radios that were available were “From a radio as small as your hand…to one as big as the world”. The first one shown in the ad is the small one, the Zenith Royal “500” Transistor Pocket Radio. There is a picture of a female hand holding this unit with information on it’s features and a price of $75.00. The big one they refer to is the Zenith Trans-Oceanic Portable Short Wave Radio with a good description of what it could do for a price of $139.95 to $159.95. The in-between sizes that they show with descriptions are the Zenith Custom Clock Radio for $49.95, the Royal 800 Transistor Portable for $87.50, the 3-Speaker FM/AM for $109.95 and the 2-Speaker Console Tone for $34.95.
