HEAR Stirring Events! Excitement! Thrills! POLICE RADIO BROADCAST On the Sensational New Model 88 Jackson Bell MIDCET RADIO POLICE RADIO in several western cities, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Seattle, broadcasts on a wave-length of 180 meters, far below the lowest station on the dial of most modern radios. But the new Jackson Bell pentode superheterodyne receiver is equipped with specially wound coils to pick up these police broadcasts in addition to the usual broadcast stations. Listening to police radio broadcasts is the latest "indoor sport" in many homes. One minute the police broadcast a hold-up that may be near your home, the next minute a neighborhood disturbance in a remote part of the city, then a description of a run away child, next a bank robbery .... hot news events broadcast while they are happening, almost before they happen. You are missing half the value and enjoyment of radio if your set will not pick up these broadcasts. Get the new Jackson Bell and have the last word in radio enjoyment. And be SURE that the radio you buy will pick up police broadcasts. Jackson Bell Company ----- Los Angeles Manufacturers of All-Electric Radios . . .
