D your education stop when you
walked out of the schoolhouse, or are
you still learning?
Education is an easier, pleasanter
thing today than it was in the days of
the "little red schoolhouse" ? or even 10
years ago.
What could be simpler, for example,
or pleasanter, than to learn via radio or
records?
If you haven't a combination radio
record player, you are missing a won
derful educational opportunity ? -AND a
lot of pleasure.

COS and STROMBERG-CARLSONS at
