A New Deal in Radio Service!
ON APRIL 15th, 1933
The Royal Radio Company
. . . starts its efficient and economical service in motion. With it we take pleasure in identifying two well known men.
Mr. Jaeger
Who for the past twelve years has been devoted to servicing the public in northern New Jersey and has built up an enviable reputation for his ability and honesty in his dealings with the public. His knack of locating Radio trouble and curing it is absolutely uncanny.
Mr. Levin
For the past eight years has been associated with a leading radio company. Many who have known Mr. Levin believe he has that rare quality of good judgment plus a keen foresight that only leading business men possess and predict a successful business career for him.
