humanity will have the greater
recognition. You have helped
mightily in ushering in this new

ATWATER KENT
RADIO
radio tells
only the truth
. ..does yours?
YOU hear people talking
about the “tone” of radio
sets.
One set has a “deep tone”
they say. Another set a “high
tone.”
0
But when you stop to think
you realize that the best radio has no
tone of its own at all!
Of course it hasn’t. A radio set shouldn’t
create anything. It is a reproducing instru-
ment. It should pass on to you only what
it gets from the broadcasting studios.
The better it does that the better your
radio.
This is what we mean when we speak
of the naturalness of a Screen-GridAtwatcr
Kent. This radio tells only the truth.
Its bass notes are the true bass. Its

treble is the true treble. Light and shade
of music arc put there by the broadcasters.
The set docs not intrude with its own
version of a song or a talk.
Atwater Kent has developed this natural
tone for your radio because of a conviction
that this is the only tone that will perma-
nently satisfy you.
It must be this naturalness that most
people prefer for already hundreds of
thousands of families have chosen Atwater
Kent Screen-Grid Radio. They say it has
“the natural tone you never tire of.”
Listen to radio without artificial color-
ing. Listen with the truth-telling Atwater
Kent and hear the big broadcasting show
as it really is!
