LAMOTTE STANDARDS 11 N making tests of Hydrogen Ion Concentration, ab-
solute accuracy can be insured by using LaMotte Color Standards. These Standards are widely
recognized for their uniform purity. They have been adopted as standard equipment in some of the largest laboratories in the country. In making LaMotte Standards, special non-soluble glass is used. This prevents quick fading, which is caused by the ordinary glass used in most laboratories. Also, LaMotte Indicators are of the highest purity attainable and are unequalled in strength and -uniformity.
The use of LaMotte Standards saves time, labor and expense, and insures uniform, accurate results. Write for our interesting brochure on "The ABC of Hydrogen Ion Control" -sent free on request.

Ideas of reception have changed. A year or so ago the main thing was dis- tance, now it's quality or how well you can hear that counts.
Receivers have changed very rapidly in recent years. Radical developments have taken place and made receivers but recently purchased obsolete.
The best singers and music cannot be fully appreciated unless the audio end of your receiver embodies the new principles of audio amplification.
With the new theory and design of audio amplifiers the last great change in Radio reception has been made for some time to come. A set changed over now will last for a long time.
The Acme Apparatus Company have developed a new High Quality Audio Amplifier which is the result of many years of research and development.
With this new High Quality Amplifier a new sense of nearness is brought out with the joyous realization of how near to the real thing radio reception can be.
The addition of this amplifier to any set is a simple matter. Full size prints plainly showing the hook-up and layout dimensions have been prepared and may be obtained by sending 25 cents together with the coupon.
