Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Explore the World
with Zenith short wave radio
…the radio of explorers
Pioneered and proves in the arctic by famed explorer admiral Donald B. MacMillan
Zenith’s new super deluxe Trans-Oceanic Portable Radio
Zenith Short Wave was first used in the Arctic
in 1923, during the historic polar Expedition of
Admiral (then Commander) Donald 8. Mac-
Millan. The Zenith Short Wave equipment carried
by this Expedition enabled it to be the first
in the Arctic to keep in constant contact with
the outside world!
Again, two years later-while less than 12
degrees from the North Pole-the MacMillan
National Geographic Arctic Expedition transmitted
voice by Zenith Short Wave radio to
the cruiser U.S.S. Seattle, sailing off Tasmania
on the other side of the earth! From these pioneer
Short Wave experiments, Zenith developed
You, too, can tune in the world with the
Zenith TRANS-OCEANIC portable radio, or get
the best long distance domestic reception on
standard broadcast! Also covers international
Short Wave bands, marine, weather and amateur
Short Wave coverage bands, plus ship-to-ship
and ship-to-shore reception. Students can
tune in foreign lands and learn languages as
they are actually spoken!
This fabulous Short and Standard Wave
TRANS-OCEANIC radio operates on ships, trains,
planes and in steel buildings. Tropically treated
against high humidity to prevent loss of sensitivity.
AC/DC or battery operated. In black
stag, $139.95*; brown cowhide, $159.95*.
Only Zenith builds Zenith Quality
The royalty of radio and television
