The Talking Machine World, New York, April, 1928 links the Phonograph to your Radio/ Volume Control That Tapers to a Whisper! Heres' a little picture from life, gentlemen, that tells why there are sale's, and more sales and more — well, repeat orders are pouring in from dealers everywhere ! A record is played at a customer's request. It gives good results — the usual results. Then the dealer, aware that his customer owns a radio set, brings in a little device, weighing but 2*/2 ounces, places it lightly on the turntable, connects it (instantly and easily) to a radio set, pulls the switch — and that selfsame record pours out a wealth of sound that the customer never even remotely suspected was hidden in it ! A turn of the knob and volume is reduced, magnetically. Another slight turn and the record is whispering its message ; but with remarkable clarity and with every heretofore distorted or lc-st tone coming out with flute-like beauty. "How much?" is the question. "Seven-fifty," the answer. The sale is made, then and there. And other sales are made, and others, until the pick-up business in that shop is something to talk about. The PHONO LINK is right, precisely right. It accomplishes wonders. It is literally fascinating to every phonograph and radio owner. The price is right — practically nominal. It's a combination that makes new customers and helps to sell more records, phonographs and sets. Ask your jobber to give us the chance to prove these facts to you.
