THE P. A. STARCK "CLASSIQUE" RADIO LINE
The line of "Classique" all-electric radio
sets presented by the P. A. Starck Piano
Co., Chicago, is characterized by up-to-date
features that command attention from the
observant radio customers. The Starck
"Classique" All-Electric embodies not only
the latest principles of light-socket opera-
tion—a beauty of cabinet design deflecting
the most modern ideas in good furniture, but
a selectivity and tone quality to cause you
to marvel.
For nearly forty years the House of
Starck has been famous for its fine musical
instruments. Starck pianos and phonographs
have commanded sales on their merits and
dealers everywhere are appreciative of the
privilege of representing them.
Now, the Starck "Classique" All-Electric
Radio has become equally as powerful to in-
terest the alert dealer as the Starck pianos,
which have a wide sale from coast to coast.
In fact, the Starck All-Electric Radio is a
musical instrument, first and foremost. It
will reproduce with the fidelity of the living
artist, the delicate shadings of piano notes,
the deep, somber tones of the cello or the
plaintive melodies reminiscent of "befo' de
war" days on the old plantation.
The Starck "Classique" is a beautiful radio
receiver. Cabinet designs are unusual. They
have been created for fine homes and are
furnished for either A. C or D. C.
