The American company Sears Roebuck , with its head office in Chicago sold the standard range of American designed and made radio tubes from 1925. A few small manufacturers made these tubes and they were branded "WLS" (Worlds Largest Store). The company allotted each tube a four digit type number. The company also sol;d regular branded tubes such as Radiotron, Cunnungham, Meteor and Solartron.
