Inside the Arctic Circle, nine degrees from the North Pole, a little 89-foot schooner is frozen fast in the ice of Smith Sound. Aboard this schooner a group of brave men are enduring, as best they can, the desperate cold of the Arctic — cold that often drops to 60 degrees below zero. Human atoms in a boundless field of ice! Cold is hard to endure, but far more terrible is the Arctic solitude — unbelievably oppressive. Radio, at length, has broken this spell forever! Concerts from Honolulu! Daily, by means of powerful sending and receiving apparatus, the crew of the "Bowdoin" are in communication with relatives and friends in the far-off States. Daily they listen to concerts as far away as Chicago, Dsdlas, and Honolulu ! When the sanity, the very lives of one's shipmates may depend upon contact with the outside world, none but the best is good enough. Dr, MacMillan^s Choice— the Zenith Out of all the radio sets on the market, Dr. MacMillan selected the Zenith exclusively — because of its flawless construction, its unusual selectivity, its dependability and its tremendous reach. Already his operator, on board the "Bowdoin" in Northern Greenland, has tuned in several hundred stations. You along the Atlantic who brag a little when you tune in Catalina Island — what 'would you say if you tuned in Hawaii from the Arctic Circle? The set that Dr. MacMillan has is a standard Zenith receiving set. And you can do all that MacMillan does, and more, with either of the two new models shown at the right. Their moderate price brings them easily within your reach. Write today for full particulars.
