  • Ozarka 1-Tube Receiver based on the Reinhartz circuit.

    This is Ozarka's 1st radio. The founder of Ozarka was J. Matheson Bell who had worked his way up to Merchandising Manager at Montgomery Ward. Leaving his job at Montgomery Ward in May,1922, Bell started his own radio business introducing his own set which closely resembled the Tresco Sectional Receiver. This was not surprising since Bell was Sales Manager of Tresco in 1922.
