HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED HOW MUCH
A RADIO SET REALLY COSTS YOU ?
in reckoning up these charges you must not only take into consideration the initial cost of the set. There are with most sots working in this humid climate, low insulation breakdowns which are difficult and expensive to repair. There are renewals of valves. With the usual set there, is an aerial and lead-in to erect and maintain. The current consumption or an AC. set, too, is not negligible; if you have a battery set the charges for battery replacements are often higher.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET A RADIO FREE FROM ALL THESE WORRIES AND EXPENSE AND HAVE A. RECEIVER INSTALLED FOR YOU IN YOUR OWN HOME WHICH WOULD REPRODUCE THE LOCAL STATION PERFECTLY AT A TOTAL COST TO YOU OF $4.00 PER MONTH 7. AND A COVERNMENT LICENCE AT $10,00 PER ANNUM.
This is a proposition the HONG KONG TELEPHONE CO. is making.
