Simultaneously with the patent grants. RCA engineers announced that they had perfected what thy had not dared to hope for, originally controlled directional sound. In other words, the motorists and his guests seated a car five hundred feet away from the screen stage not only see but hear the sound at the same precise volume as the auditors in the first row and vice versa. RCA, cognizant of its success with RCA Photophone in movie theatres, nevertheless realized that this mammoth outdoor theatre presented a somewhat different problem and that RCA's high standard of quality had to be maintained.

It is easy to account for such mistakes in buying. Just as easy to avoid them, if you know why they are made. When families have little money to spend, all manufacturers try to reduce the price of their merchandise. Those who have built a reputation for quality guard it jealously, lowering the prices of their products as far as they can without sacrificing any of the quality you always look for. Other manufacturers go too far in their efforts to sell goods.

To make a low price still lower, they sometimes reduce quality. Or bring out entirely new products of lower grade. You may be told these products are "just as good" as the brands you know by experience, by their advertising, or the reputations of their makers. But all too frequently, they are urged upon you only because they pay maker and dealer a higher margin of profit Remember these facts when you shop, and you will look for genuine bargains among brands you recognize. Many of these brands now cost less than they have in years.

When you buy them you pay a low price, but an honest one that assures highest quality, complete satisfaction.
