RADIO BROADCAST ADVERTISER 593 FACTS wi/A more genuine enthusiasm any set development to date. blast a Western Electric Cone which, we believe, you'll agree is quite enough volume. But above all this, the R. G. S. Receiver has a power, a power that seems almost magical, of tuning out all stations you don't want. This feature is the answer to the problems created by the present broadcast confusion. Hear an R. G. S. Receiver and you'll agree that it does answer conclusively. But why tell you all about the thrills you are going to get out of your R. G. S. Receiver. For after all, as Mr. Cotton, designer of the Cotton Super, so pithily puts it: "The R. G. S. Receiver is its own best advertisement." Go to your dealer today for a demonstration. If he hasn't an R. G. S. Receiver on hand, he can get one which will be shipped within 24 hours from receipt of his order. Tell him that the R. G. S. Receiver comes unassembled (everything included, wire, transformers, constructional data, diagrams, operation information, etc. etc.) at $69.70; or completely assembled according to the latest laboratory methods at $79.70. The latter gives you a complete option on the kind of cabinet you may wish. By this method you can save cost of cabinet or invest $10 to $500.00 as you please. The R. G. S. Receiver is fully protected by United States Patents Nos. 1,517,057 and 1,517,058; by Canadian Patents Nos. 241,602 and 260,787; by English Patents Nos. 204,301 and 225,579; by Australian Patent No. 20,813. Notice is hereby served that any infringements whatsoever are liable to vigorous prosecution by due process of the law. DEALERS: Write for complete merchandising proposal What the Owners Say: HAROLD G. HOFFMAN Member of Congress 3rd District, N. J. "May I say to you at this time that we are all very much delighted with the results that have been obtained through this receiving set? Its tone quality and sharp selectivity brings to this set qualities that are beyond comparison with other systems used in this vicinity. "May I again take this means of expressing our appreciation of this set and its installation?" CHARLES HICKMAN Forsyth, Montana It may be of interest also that last night, Jan. 26th, at ten o'clock mountain time I had PWX (Havana)clear and loud on the Westinghouse cone for twenty minutes. This is the first time I have ever reached this station on any set, and as the air distance measures exactly 2200 miles, it is unusual reception. At first it was rather uncanny, but after two announcements I got so that I could stand without being hitched. . . . Tonal quality is my chief aim and the R. G. S. beats anything I have yet heard for beautiful reproduction. ARTHUR C. HOYT "Hard Boiled" Ham "Believe me. Grimes, you certainly have some receiver. I have had over fifteen well known standard makes of radio sets from super hets down, up here in my apartment at 52nd Street and 6th Avenue, New York City, and NONE of them have been able to work through to ANY distant stations while the locals were on from eight o'clock till midnight. I was frankly skeptical which accounts for my fine character, when I first talked to you after reading your articles in Q. S. T. But the demonstration you gave in my home last evening was nothing short of a real reception. "I would have been satisfied with even one distant station but you gave me many. The thing that I still labor at is the following simultaneous reception without the interference of the following stations and the mileage from my location: — W. H. N. h mile 361 meters W. N.
