PRICE OWENS ELTINGE BLOCK ~ The Ortho-Tenna Radio Aerial Since the early days of radio we have been experimenting with every type of aerial that might replace the stand- ard 100-foot straight-away wire. This winter we found it. The Ortho-Ten- na is a patented duplex copper as- sembly to erect on a 10-foot pipe. The 10-foot guy wires are part of the aerial, and the signal volume is al- most as strong as from a 100-foot wire. We will erect this outfit com- plete for $16.00, and it is an easy mat- ter to move it to another location. It is small and trim in appearance, and no mast is required at the rear of the lot.
