    First in the running as The Set of The Future there can be no reduction in price for WATES FUTURA models. Designed from the start to give outstanding value and performance, the merits are now so universally recognised that you cannot go wrong in securing a Wates.

    Even with local stations in full blast, Continental programs pour in, bright, loud, and clear-cut. " Performance Outstandingly Good," says " Wireless World." " Tonal Response Brilliant " -" Music Seller." " Practically Every Station of Note Receivable " - " Wireless Trader." " Station Finding Extremely Easy."-" Broadcaster."
