F O'DAY, after months, of test
ing and months of proving,
Westinghouse invites you to
inspect Radio’s newest, per
fected creation Columaire
*‘8”—themost significantradio announcement
in four years.
Leave behind you all preconceived ideas
of radio design. Columaire “8” does not
look like any radio you have ever seen be
fore. At first glance you will not see any
speaker, tuning controls or selector dial.
These important features are all there of
course, but obviously placed for the great
est efficiency and convenience.
•, ■ The Columaire“8”presents the first and
only radio cabinet scientifically designed
to serve the purpose of radio repro
duction. To embody the fun
damental principle which dis- -
tinguishes Columaire “8” from
all other radio receivers, it had
to be different.
The “column of air” principle
though entirely new to radio, is
old as the hills. The great mas
ters of music have used it for „

Toronto, says
hundreds of years. It is the secret of
sweetness and purity in the violin, of
mellowness in the cello, of resonance in
the pipe-organ.
. The “ column of air ”, vibrating within
.. every musical instrument,- energizes and
developes the full range of musical har
monics.
Now in a Radio Receiver for the
first time Westinghouse adapts this
principle for radio reproduction,
thereby producing tonal qualities
unique in beauty, magnificent in
resonance and amazing in fidelity.
With this radical innovation
come other improvements scarcely
less surprising.
Columaire is up-to-the-minute-
modern as the ninety story sky
scraper. Cdlumaire brings re
freshing beauty—richness of
substance as well as sound—that
harmonizes with any setting.
Although a full-size receiver, it
takes up only one square foot
of floor space—a unique advantage
in any home and especially in small
apartments.

" Saturday Night" says
" It would seem to me that the
basic principles of design em*
bodied in the Columaire offer
extremely interesting possibili
ties for a higher standard of
sound reproduction and tone
values
It is more conveniently placed, easier to
handle, more satisfactory to operate than
the old-style receivers it supersedes.
It is equipped with either an electric or
eight-day clock as you require—affording
a double utility in the home.
It is a superheterodyne of amaz- ■
ing power—-quiet yet sensitive to
the weakest signals. It has extra
ordinary volume yet cross talk and
interference between wave bands
is eliminated.
It establishes new meaning for
•“radio value”—its low price is its
clinching appeal.
Be one of the first to enjoy this
■ marvelous new creation.
• Hear for yourself its magnificent
range of tone. See for yourself its
new, dynamic beauty. Secure for yourself
its amazing performance, its unmatched
utility and its outstanding value.
We are proudly waiting to show you
Columaire “8”—the receiver that is re*
making radio history.
Visit us to-day.
