Wire- less operators on land and ships at sea— acknowledged experts of what’s what in radio—call it the greatest set they have ever seen—and the greatest v;lue for the money on the market today! One of the outstanding—and romantic ~—{features of this radio is the fact that all of these wireless experts used a Brandes headset for many years through innumer- able thrilling adventures! For the history of the Brandes company dates back to the pioneer days of wireless —back to the year 1908. Those were the days when radio was used only aboard s}npq at sea—when no one thought of asking “What's on the air tonight?” or pressing a button and hear- ing an orchestra hundreds of miles away! Those were the days when radio meant life or death not song and dance! New Radio Climaxes 21 Years of Achievement It is that background—so rich in ad- venture and achievement—that makes the new Brandes an instant leader in its Jfield! For this new radio climaxes all those 21 years of research and experiment —21 years in which the Brandes engineers studied, planned and prepared to build a set that would startle the world in per- formance and price! Wireless Operator of S.S. American Legion Calls Brandes a “Buy” at $125.50! Herman H. Parker, wireless operator of the S.S. American Legion in 1921, is keenly enthusiastic about Brandes and the new Brandes Radio! And well he should be, for in 1922, ing a Brandes headset, he established a long distance rec- ord when he trans- Rio de Janeiro to East Hampton, Long Island. Parker says, “The new Brandes has everything— range, clearness, good looks—just as I knew it would! For I know Brandessince 1919. And when the new set came out, I was OIIP of the fiut to lnten toit. Wi h; a radio like thatis a “buy” at $125.50!" British Wireless Expert— Who Picked up AmericanS.0.S. Praises New Brandes! Of the hundreds of enthusiastic letters received by the Brandes Company, this one, from an old time British wireless man, is especially interesting. The_writer is Dave Williamson, operator aboard the Bntuh S.8. om It dldn’t take me long to find out how good the new Brandes radio is. But that didn’t surprise me be- cause it was the clearness of a Brandes head hone that saved a lot of lives back in ‘ebruary, 1929. I was on the British S.S. Vennacher at that time and my Brandes head phone picked up an S. O. S, from the American S.S. Castalia. So I'm for Brandes 1007, —and that goes for your new radio. It's got everything a good r;dm Ahculd have, and a price that beats them Operator of U. S.

But the flneu that arrive from wireless ex- erts—men who a ve 1sed the Brandes headsets for years and years —are particularly gratifying. They show that Brandes haa kept the faith. his is a_letter from Willard Will- iams, of the U. S. Mine Sweeper, SPgnenin.” ““During the war,” writes Wi illiams, “1 was given a ticklish job of wireless oper- ator on the U. S. Mine Sweeper Penguin, and believe me a wireless operator’s job is all worry and a lot of work. But the Brandes headset is a wow! I could de- pend on it always . . .
