Twenty-five years ago, two
eminent Detroit physicians be-
came great friends because they
had not merely their medical sci-
ence in common, but also wide
cultural backgrounds and poetic
ability.
Drs. Noah E. Aronstam and M.
Benmosche constantly exchanged
notes on poetry, Jewish history,
drama—as well as medicine.
About 20 rears ago, Dr. Ben-
mosche moved to New York. But
the two men remained staunch
friends. Last month, in commem-
oration of Dr. Aronstam's 70th

NE hundred fifty years ago, '‘ne master English
decorator, Thomas Sheraton created the pattern
for a classic design today embodied in this superb
instrument. Freed-Eisemann engineers have incorporated
in this model not only outstanding beauty of structure and
finish, but all of those famous technical features that have
made this radio a matchless musical instrument. These
include the dual pan phonetic speakers, full audible range
over the entire tonal scale, automatic record changer, all
three wave bands so vital to complete enjoyment of broad-
casting, also F.M., Standard and Foreign Short Wave.
Acclaimed by famous music conductors, teachers and
composers as the modern miracle 7n music, you too will
vastly enjoy all of the rich melodic beauty and clarity of
