It brings to the listener the opportunity to enjoy by himself, without headphones or anything that is worn, quietly, comfortably, with complete clarity — music and speech via radio while others in the same room need not be disturbed unless they too wish to hear. With Dictograph Silent Radio, Mrs. Radio Listener who wishes to hear her favorite program and her husband who wishes to read his newspaper undisturbed come to an amicable understanding. Now the children welcome bed-time with the Acousticon Magic Ear. No radio din in home, office, hotel, etc. The Acousticon Magic Ear, a tiny Tonal Fork, tucked away beneath pillow or on the back of an armchair, is the secret. This Acousticon Magic Ear is not an earphone, not a miniature loudspeaker. It employs a principle new to the industry. Strange as it may seem, this remarkable radio can be heard by the hard of hearing as clearly as by those with normal hearing. This sensational new radio will be demanded by millions of listeners through dealers and jobbers. The set of the future will have the Acousticon Magic Ear. Radio set manufacturers and makers of sound equipment should get license information forthwith. // interested in our licensing plan, cable, wire, write or phone Dictograph Products Corp., 580 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.
