Celebrate New Year’s Eve with thrilling new technology

“In many thousands of homes the old year will be tuned out and the new one tuned in over the radio,” according to this ad from the January 1927 issue of Scribner’s.

“They can share in the dance music, the cathedral chimes, and the festivities from far and near; listen to the voices of gifted singers and entertainers and to messages of good cheer and inspiration.”

Perhaps it’s time for you to jump on board this new technology since it’s about to turn 1928 and “the experimental days of radio are now largely over.”

Happy New Year!
