SUBANTENNA AMAZING MEW Underground Antenna System KILLS STATIC Eliminates All InterferencePower Line Crackles, Etc. Unless you have spent a radio evening with SUBANTENNA, you positively have no idea of how wonderful Radio really is. There is such an amazing difference in the performance of any set when connected to SUBANTENNA that no user would ever go back to the old style aerial again. Real Clarity and Big Volume on DX Now Possible! Imagine listening to beautiful music, thinking it is from a local station, then hearing the announcer clearly speak the call letters of a station a thousand miles away. Imagine the pleasure of getting real DX crystal clear on bad nights when STATIC is raging all around you. Imagine being able to bring in distant stations with tremendous volume on the same set which with an ordinary aerial gets only "air noises" and static crashes! Because the filtering action of SUBANTENNA delivers such a clean, clear signal to your set, you can turn the power full on when listening to DX. This means you can get bigger volume and more distance with your present set, if you use a SUBANTENNA. FREE TRIAL Read PROOF that SUBANTENNA is the Greatest New Thing in Radio "Subantenna you shipped me now working and results are good. Had WJZ, WLS, KDKA, WTAX, WSM and others during thunderstorm." Signed, L. T. DONALDSON, M. D., Louisiana "We are not only getting better reception but better volume through the Subantenna " Signed, HUGO M. FRIEND, Chief Justice Circuit Court. Cook County "I am able to report that static which was a source of much annoyance before, has been entirely eliminated so far as I am able to observe. For clarity and for its contribution to selectivity I think the Subantenna is the best device I have ever had any experience with." Signed, REED L. PARKER, Chicago CLOVERLEAF MANFG. CO., "I am glad to report to you the wonderful reception that I am receiving without interference or static of any kind. It is, indeed, a wonderful thing for radio and my opinion is that it will revolutionize the industry." Signed, CARL DESSAUER, Kansas "My greatest pleasure with the Subantenna, however, comes through the clarity of tone and perfect reception of the programs. Since using the Subantenna, I am unable to understand how I got any pleasure at all out of my radio, using the old aerial, with its rasping, grating noises, and constant interference." HERMAN SLESCHER, Chicago 2714L Canal Street Chicago SUBANTENNA Uses Filtered Ground Waves Instead of using noisy air waves, SUBANTENNA uses filtered ground waves. This means that STATIC, arc light sputters, power line crashes and other disturbing interferences are grounded and removed from the reception before it reaches your set. Read in the lower left corner of this announcement what a few of the thousands of enthusiastic SUBANTENNA users say about this new, wonder device. Nothing Else Like It SUBANTENNA is not just a wire. It is a specially constructed, specially treated alloy wire differently insulated and sheathed in a lead jacket. At the far end of SUBANTENNA and at an electrically calculated correct location near its center are "building-up" coils which play a big part in SUBANTENNA'S startling performance. Make this TEST Install SUBANTENNA. Leave your old aerial up. Select a bad night when DX is almost impossible with the ordinary aerial. Make a comparison, stition for station, connecting first your aerial, then SUBANTENNA. From stations that are just a mess of jumbled noise with the old aerial, you'll get reception that parallels local in sweetness and clarity.
