Zenith Radio Corporation
Hearing Aid Division
Chicago, Illinois
Gentlemen:
This open letter to you has a three-fold purpose.
1. To teU you how we feel about you folks at Zenith.
2. To teU the folks in our community how we feel about them.
3. To bring an important message to hard-of-hearing folks who may
be hesitating to wear a hearing aid.
First . . . when we took on Zenith Hearing Aids in our store, we knew we weren’t
handling a high-profit item. We knew we could make as much as $100 or more per
sale on certain other makes of Aids. But we knew something else that appealed to
us as far more important. It was Zenith’s “crusade to lower the cost of hearing,” to
bring the benefits of better hearing to more and more people at a price that wouldn’t
leave them gasping!
We liked that idea and that ideal. And we figured that we couldn’t lose by function
ing as a dealer for a hearing-aid manufacturer that put a little heart-interest into
his business.
Well, we haven't lost. .. not by a long sight! We’ve sold more aids and we’ve made
more new friends, and our Zenith Hearing Aid business has grown steadily.
Your Advertising Department has told us to never use any superlatives—words like
“best” and “finest”—when talking about Zenith hearing aids. We’ve never done
that and we won’t. But we can say that if there is any better Aid at any price, then
we haven’t seen it. And it’s our business to know hearing aids. And we’ll back up
these statements anytime anybody wants to give us an argument. If further proof
is needed, we’U just swipe one of Zenith’s own slogans and say, “ask any Zenith
owner.”
Second ... we figufe that our customers aren’t just customers. They’re our friends,
many of them long-standing. Friendship means that a friend always wants the good
things in life for his friend—in business and in his personal life. When it comes to
someone with a hearing loss, that, to us, means a Zenith Hearing Aid if his physician
has recommended that he use a hearing aid.
Third (and we’re getting kind of long winded) ... A lot of folks are making them
selves (and their friends and relatives) miserable by refusing to wear a hearing aid.
We wish-we could say just this to everyone of them personally: try a Zenith. Just
try it. Those hesitant men and women don’t know what they’re missing. And
thnnVs to Zenith’s 10-day money-back guarantee, we can also say this to the hard-
of-hearing: If you don’t hear better, your money will be refunded if you return the
instrument within ten days.
We guess that by now it’s pretty clear how we feel about Zenith, and why we’re
writing this letter. In publishing it in the paper, it is our hope that a lot of folks
will “read over our shoulder” what we’re writing.to you. One other thing: our cus
tomers really appreciate the battery operating cost of only 15c a month on the
3-transistor, no-tube Zenith “Royal-T!”
Sincerely,
SANDHILL DRUG COMPANY
