Not so long ago one simply had to have a large expensive radio to get satisfactory reception; particularly from any distance. The day is now at hand wherein each family can afford to enjoy that same performance. The answer is the mantel type low-priced set. Lately the superheterodyne circuit has been adapted to the small set idea. The results are remarkable. At the same time prices are kept at midget levels. All the power, volume and richness of tone of the old high-priced radios are improved upon. Sitting down before this new little giant one can tingle with excitement at the high-pitched unintelligible voice of a Japanese announcer. Or through the softer tones of a Mexican artist get a fascinating glimpse into their entertainment likings. During the same aerial wandering perhaps the rapid, close-clipped expressions of a New Zealander at Wellington, 7,000 miles away, will furnish a deep pleasure and interest not before thought possible in your radio. Globe trotters spend fortunes going places to note and enjoy the habits and peculiarities of different lands. Less personally, perhaps, but much more quickly you can do likewise, through the medium of the inexpensive, powerful little sets available to all today. Simply procure a reliable, complete log of world-wide stations and some exciting fun can be yours in return for a little patience. VOLUME XX NUMBER FOUR Copyright, 1930, Horwood Publishing Co., Inc.
