.114. RADIO BROADCAST ADVERTISER TRIMM Headsets For Short-Wave Receivers L Dr. Donald B. MacMUlan used Trimm Headsets in his last three expeditions to the Arctic re- gions in the ship Bowdoin. Here, isolated from the rest of the world, with no chance to make repairs, Dr. MacMillan depended on Trimm 'phones, maintaining unprecedented communication over tremendous dis- tances. Short-Wave Radio is growing in interest. The new con- quests, the big promise of the future are definitely tied up with these ex- periments. At least three American stations are broadcasting short-wave voice and music. The most pro- gressive of the amateurs are construct- ing short-wave sets. And their ex- periences are writing a chapter of modern miracles. Trimm Head 'Phones are the choice of the leading am- ateurs and ex- pert radio men. The Trimm Professional leads the line. Trimm Professional Headsets at #5.50 The Trimm Dependable at #4.00 is the best low-priced headset on the mar- ket. At a price but little higher than that of a cheap, inefficient headset, you may buy this real quality instrument.
