180 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD January 15, 1925 RAD I O A YEAR AHEAD Amazing Simplicity Qfee SetThat Is Already Logged CAN you imagine anything more simple — more practical — than a radio set with all the dial settings exactly identical for any station— regardless of where you live or what antenna you use? The entire DAY-FAN line, comprising six models ranging in price from $90 to $285, is distinguished by this feature. APPEARANCE. Every DAY-FAN set is a splendid example of the cabinet maker's art. Made of the finest materials, they have a finish and design which harmonize with the surroundings of the most tastefully furnished homes. VALUE. In everything that you want — long range, selectivity, purity of tone, volume — there is no greater value. PERFORMANCE. The age of technical discussion and experimenting in radio is past. Today a set must do certain definite things. You may want entertainment, business information, or an educational program. Whatever your desires, a DAY-FAN will get it for you, quickly and easily.

Found 1924 a Year of Prosperity Company, in Letter to Trade, Voices Appreciation of Good-will and Co-operation On the first day of the new year, Everybody's Talking Machine Co., Inc., Philadelphia, Pa., makers of Honest Quaker main springs and a complete line of talking machine repair material, mailed a personal message to its many friends addressed to "Those Whom We Serve and Those Who Serve Us." This message written in the form of a letter on the Everybody's letterhead calls particular attention to an account on their books headed "good will," which, it is pointed out, remains unchanged year after year and is modestly valued at the customary $1.00. Ten years ago it was $1.00 and to-day it still remains $1.00. As its books for 1924 close, what is described as the most successful year in its history, the valuation of good will still technically remains $1.00, but to quote from the letter: "How can we ever hope to value the good will account on our books accurately." In conclusion the company, through Samuel Fingrutd, secretary, voices the appreciation of the good-will which it has received from its many customers both large and small. To use their exact words, "To all whom we serve or who serve us, we are trying to express in words our appreciation." Buffalo Victor Dealers Hold First 1925 Meeting Buffalo, N.
