The talking machine world (Jan-June 1928)

The Talking Machine World, New York, June, 1928 A New Sleeper Monotrol Challenges Comparison Every year — you've seen it happen. The old story of ill-advised manufacturers doing their level best to "give" you all of the latest improvements demanded by the public each year — at prices that would scarcely cover half of these improvements. Cutting quality where it's least likely to be seen is . . . as every automobile and radio manufacturer knows . . . the easy route to prices sensationally low. Every year you've seen it fail. The cut-price window around the corner is congested every Spring with what sounded like miraculous bargains the previous Fall. These Outstanding Sleeper Features Yield Greatest Satisfaction Per Dollar Spent The name that has been famous in radio for so many years swings into 1928-29 stride with a new all-electric Monotrol (one control — trade markregistered) that will give farsighted dealers a genuine thrill of satisfaction and confidence. For the features are there which the most discriminating public now de mands. And at no point, visible or hidden, has absolute, enduring quality been sacrificed a thousandth of an inch. THIS year is already shaping itself up to be remembered in the radio trade as "The Year of Dynamic Speakers." And as every thoroughly-posted dealer already knows — the dynamic speaker shows up inferior quality in a radio set as no acid test ever has before.
