THE BEAN FOURTEEN.
Although Introduced to the public only as recently as the Olympia Show of 1923, the
BEAN “FOURTEEN
is not in any sense an untried car.
Actually, two years of time and very nearly 200.000 miles of testing were spent In satisfy- ing the experts that it expressed to the high- est possible degree the ideals of the discriminat- ing Owner-driver. In its finally approved form, the Bean "Fourteen” is a British achievement of more than average interest.
WE SHALL BE PLEASED TO DEMONSTRATE THIS IDEAL FIVE-SEATER TO THOSE INTERESTED.

It is just a simple three-circuit tuner that doesn't bother your neighbours and is one of the sim- plast sets to put up. At the same thno, with tiro, stages of audio amplification added, it should bring in stations from 500 to 1000 milos, or even more, on a loud speaker.
