Description
Black and white 6 1/2″ x 9 3/4″ ad for their Portable Radios. The headline introduces the “World’s First Portable Radio with Speakers Front and Back! Gives Sound All-Around!” over a photo of four young people lying in the sand surrounding one of these radios. The ad shows that there is a Front Speaker as well as a Back Speaker in this radio and that it is the “First with Variable Tone Control, too”. The text informs us that this radio has 8 transistors, that a set of inexpensive batteries will play for up to 1200 hours, there is a choice of colors and the prices start at $32.95.
