Just study the new prices and specifications of these 1928 Models of the famous Rogers Batteryless Radios. These new prices mean that real, proven, dependable “Battery less ”, radio is now within the. reach of all. No more need to fuss around with batteries, chemicals, chargers or unsightly wiring, to save a few dollars; no more need to try and make an ordinary battery set into an “ electrified ” set. No more need to experiment with a new and unproven electric radio — for now you can get a genuine Rogers Batteryless Radio complete in one cabinet— with three years of proven performance behind .it; all ready to “Just plug in then tune in”; with no extras to buy—at the same price as an ordinary, reputable, totfery-operated set. Think of it! The set which has outsold all other electric sets combined — the set that has proven its worth in thousands upon thousands of Canadian homes from coast to coast—the set which operates equally well on either 25 or 60 cycle A/C current—the only set which affords absolute regulation and control of voltages—the set which alone can offer the Rogers guaranteed A/C Tubes—the set which delivers coast to-coast reception under normal conditions-— the set which gives equal power the year ’round—always uniform—which costs less than 5c a week for power—the set winch requires • no batteries, chemicals, chargers, attachments (and in many cases no aerial)—and, most important, the set with a power and tone quality all its own—offered at less money than unproven electric ^ets.
