WHY?
Why is it that Majestic make complete and
ship each day 59 Solid Car Loads, or over four
thousand Radio Sets?
Why is it that when a person once hears a Ma
jestic that he is never satisfied with any other set?
Why is it that although only eight months old,
the Majestic is the largest manufacturer of Radio
in the entire world?
Why are other manufacturers scrambling so
hard to make a set and claiming that it is equal to
a Majestic?
Why has Majestic made and sold to users—not
dealers, more than Seven Hundred Thousand Radio
Sets in ‘‘eight short months?”
THE ANSWER—
Majestic lias built a Radio that has never been
duplicated by any other manufacturer at a price
within the reach of all and second to none regardless
of name, maker or price. See our display at Shelby
and Kings Mountain, N. C.
