The indications are obvious; direct sales must be the answer. "From date of October 10, all Triumph equipment will be sold at a factory direct price. This means that the dealer and the service man can now own the finest testing equipment ever built at lower prices than ever before. This is our new policy: The Triumph Manufacturing Company offers all its merchandise at a buy-from-factory price which will effect savings reaching 36 per cent. Our prices are based on cash orders, and the values received are astonishing." * Keams Auto Radio Service, who distribute Motorola sets in the Atlantic City, N.
