Eaton’s Radio Handbook (1927-1928): cover. La Société Québécoise des Collectionneurs de Radios Anciens (SQCRA).

This Eaton’s Radio Handbook contains the various radio models and accessories available through Eaton’s mail order business. The cover depicts the power of radio to bring programs from distant places into the quiet interior of the Canadian home. Besides selling equipment, this catalogue included  “interesting information concerning the late developments of the radio industry.” In this way, catalogues were also sources of education about radio in the period.
