The Question Facing Three Million Set Owners Answer it with Abox and balance your 1928 business with profitable cash sales! THERE are two definite sides to the A. C. market.

C. receivers to everyone, will result in turning customers away whose trade will represent in the aggregate, millions of dollars this year — in cash at time of purchase! Reliable figures show that there are approximately 7,500,000 receivers of all kinds in the hands of the public. Of this total, there are at present approximately 550,000 A. C. tube sets and 2,000,000 users of other forms of current supply.

There is no reason for them to pay more or to sacrifice their present radio investment to get the results they want.
