Winter, proprietor of the Winter Music company, visitors to the second annual Industrial exposition at Jaffa mosque this week are privileged to inspect and hear the full line of 1936 Sparton radio models, hitherto shown only at national radio shows in New York and Pittsburg. Striking features of the Winter company's display at the Industrial exposition are the sensational modernistic models Triolian and Nocturne, new motifs created by Walter Dorwin Teague, dean of American designers.

Especially daring is the Nocturne model, a brilliant ensemble in glass and metal, with a four-foot circle of midnight blue Tuffiex glass resting in a satin chrome cradle, with a chrome barred grill concealing the high fidelity loud speakers. All-wave reception and other late features demonstrate that the set is modern electrically as well as in design. The glass is flexible and unbreakable. The Triolian model is contained in a magnificent Adam Brown ma hogany console, trimmed with satin gold. The straight lines of the console, with delicate inlays of colored wood attest to the care exercised in manufacture of the set Fourteen different kinds of wood from seven parts of the world are used in inlay work decorating the hand-carved cabinet of the Embassy model, one of the final models displayed.

In all, the complete Sparton line of nine models, both cabinet and table sizes, is shown intact, as displayed in the national radio shows. C. S. Raugh, factory representa tive of Pittsburg, accompanied the Sparton display to this city, and is prepared to answer all ques tions of visitors to the exhibtt Another noteworthy feature of the Winter display is the new "Musette" piano, small and com pact, yet capable of the range and tonal qualities of the larger models. A representative of the Winter store is in charge of the exhibit at all times, and will welcome inquiries from prospective patrons and other interested visitors.
