Star Advertising Pays
Now Majestic '
GUARANTEES
No Reduction in Prices!
Realizing that a satisfied owner is
the greatest advertisement of all,
Majestic has always sought to have
its owners proud of their purchase*
Majestic owners are proud of their
Majestic sets. To prove it, look
around you—make inquiries—ask
your neighbor who owns a Majestic*
And many more than two million
happy people do own them.
In the “For Sale” columns of the
want ad sections of great city dailies*
you will find hundreds of other sets
“For Sale Cheap/’ but you seldom find
a Majestic thus advertised.
In fact* it’s hard to buy a “second
hand” Majestic. Dealers will tell you
that the few times they do take in a
Majestic it is usually part payment
on a new Majestic; and the “old
Majestic” is sold so quickly there is
hardly time to even wipe off the
dust. In practically every section of
the country the dealers’ own Blue
Book* which gives the official trade
in price of every make of radio set*
classifies Majestic as having the high
est trade-in value of any radio set in
the country.
This bespeaks pride of ownership.
But this ad gives you another definite
reason whyyou can be prouder still of any
Majestic you are thinking of buying.
Effective immediately, Grigsby*
Grunow guarantees that the company
will not reduce the list prices of its
present models up to January 1» 193L
Pause and realize the significance
of the above announcement—
Majestic, the world’s largest manu
facturers of complete radio receivers,
can only make it because of having
already pht into effect every saving
possible through mass production
and mass purchasing power. Majestic
has priced its present series of sets at
the lowest possible figures at which
quality merchandise, of the standard
required by Majestic engineers, can
be produced—has instituted the most
economical distribution methods
known to the industry.
Your investment is safe with
Majestic—safe as to quality, safe as to
price. If you have hesitated to buy a
Majestic, being confused at the lurid
offers of bankrupt merchandise be*
ing dumped on the market, go thii
day to any authorized Majestic
Dealer and buy your Majestic. You
can feel absolutely confident that you
are buying a good money’s worth and
absolute security on value, not to
mention the most important thing of
oll-yourprideinowningaset that is the
finest that hands and brains can create*
