Radio was a big attraction and electronic television was there too. The fairs theame was A Celebration of Progress. Stewart Warner came out with this radio for the fair. The brass and metal figurine on the front add a nice Art Deco touch to this radio.

Zenith added some high style to this table set in 1938. The sweeping speaker grill work and the curving dial on the right front side. Noitice the thin openings between the grill bars for the speaker. Only two control knobs on this set. The volume control is piggybacked with the tuning conrol behind it. When new this radio retailed for $24.95.
