Description
Black and white 6 1/2″ x 10″ ad for their Trans-Oceanic Portable and their Zenette Portable. The top portion of the ad has a picture of a couple sitting under palm trees listening to their Zenith Trans-Oceanic Radio. The headline claims you can “Keep in touch with Everything…from Anywhere…with the Zenith “Trans-Ocewanic” Portable“. The text gives some fairly good detail about this unit including mentioning the detachable Wavemagnets. The price mentioned, less batteries, is $124.40. The lower third of the ad is devoted to the Zenette which they refer to as a “Vacation Sweetheart”. This 5 1/2 lb portable is briefly described and a price of $42.45 is mentioned.
