C. set ?” You all knew that Kellogg had perfected and marketed an A. C. tube. Yo“ c r ou '? h V why we didn’t use them ourselves. It was one thing to create a successful A. C. tube. But it was quite another thing to build an A. C. set that would be worthy of the KeWg narne and We were pioneering a momentous step in radio development. Even with Kellogg s vas ing resources it was a big job. For two years our engineers have worked behind locked doors A 8 year ago we had it—but we could not tell you about it. We had to be sure, very sure that even, detail was perfect. But NOW—after a whole year of testing and proving, we are ready to release this wonderful new Kellogg A. C. Receiver.

At present it is considered one of the outstanding musical organizations in the Southern collegiate field. Several other Victor recordings will probably be made by the Glee Club, following the steady sale of its first offering.
