MODERN AS THE WORLD OF TOMORROW LIKE the great New York World's J Fair of 1939, Sylvania's two giant radio tube plants are "modern as the world of tomorrow." Housing the most efficient production and testing equipment known to the industry ... a creative engineering staff second to none . . . and over 3,000 skilled workers— these two plants (at Emporium, Pa. and Salem, Mass.) have rightly earned for Sylvania its position as one of the leaders in the radio tube industry. A guided trip through either of these great plants will show you the marvels of modern tube manufacture at their best. Why not plan on visiting us during your trip to the Fair? FAIR FACTS: The New York World's Fair— opens April 30th , . . covers 1,216 acres of land . . . contains 400 buildings and the world's greatest amusement park . . . cost $150,000,000 to construct. The Trylon towers 700 feet tall, while the Perisphere will be higher than an 18-story building. 42 RADIO TODAY
