Simplicity

Selectivity Modern Radiodesign demandsthat sets be selective-that stationsother than the one tuned for willnot interfere. This importantfactor has been given careful studyby Trego engineers and in TregoSets interference Is reduced to aminimum.

Good Volume ?4h e e ehn oeyment you will receive from your setdepends on the volume. Faint andindistinct programs are only anannoyance. Loud, strong, undis-torted volume. such as Trego Setsdeliver, is just the difference be-tween quality products and Inferiormakes.

As the price was much less than thewidely advertised "dyne" set we candid-ly did not expect to get much more thanthe Kansas City stations. You can thenimagine our surprise to start revolvingthe dial one night and hear a clear voicethrough the loud speaker announce astation in Springfield, Mass., broadcast-ing. Since then we have tuned in Cal-gary, Can.; Buffalo, N. Y.; Minneapolis,Minn.; Ft. Worth, Tex.; St. Louis, Mo..and Pittsburg. P&. while Chicago, ZionCity. Davenport, 'Hastings, Neb., comethrough the loud speaker just as clearms does Kansas City stations, which areonly six miles away.

Years of Square DealingBack of Every TREGO

RADIO SETWe are among the pioneers in the

Radio business. Several years ago werecognized the fact that Radio was des-tined to become one of the greatestAmerican industries-that the day wasnot far distant when every home wouldbe radio equipped. At that time we de-termined upon our plan and policy ofproducing quality sets with quantity pro-duction methods, and to pass on to ourcustomers the enormous saving we wouldbe able to accomplish by such methods.We also decided to sell direct from fac-tory to user, thereby eliminating all need-less dealer and distributor profits. Thetremendous growth of our business In thepast few years has confirmed our originaljudgment In a magnificent manner, asTrego sets are now in use in every cornerof the United States, and our customersare our greatest boosters. Trego engi-neers have always kept well in advanceof all new developments, and TregoRadios embody the very latest principlesand the most approved designs. Thewonderful growth our business has en-joyed would never have been possible hadwe not kept faith with the public. Ourreputation is our greatest asset. Wevalue it beyond all else, and in purchas-ing from us you are assured of sterlingvalues and fair dealing.

Every Trego Product Rigidly Guaranteed

TREGO Policies MeanLowest Prices

High price, and high price alone, is the onlyreason every home in this country is not radioequipped today. No one can deny but that radiois the greatest discovery in recent years. Nothingcan replace its paramount position as the great-est factor for wholesome entertainment and in-struction ever made available for home every-where.

Yet, to date, only a comparatively few havebeen able to avail themselves of this almost un-limited pleasure, as prices have been, for theaverage family, positively prohibitive. This is adeplorable condition and one for which there isno real excuse, as Radio Sets and parts can be madeand sold at reasonable prices. The trouble is thatmost manufacturers are operating small plants,making only a few sets per week, and this neces-sarily means costly and inefficient production. Fur-thermore. there have been too many profits todealers and jobbers, all of which add to the pricethat the purchaser must pay.

We in the Trego organization, at the verystart of our business, realized what conditions wereIn the industry, and we resolved to adopt meanswhich would enable us to sell high quality radiosat fair and popular prices. A study of our prices.as quoted in this catalog, and a comparison withthose asked by other manufacturers selling andmanufacturing in the old-fashioned way, will quick-ly convince the most skeptical of our success inputting the Trego business on a rock bottom pricefoundation.

You Be the Judge of TREGOValues and Quality

All through this catalog we have stressed thepoint that Trego quality and Trego values arewithout a peer or an equal in the entire radio in-dustry.
