    Babs" is the slickest, cutest thing in modern radio . . and you can meet her through your nearest Tasma dealer. Babs is a radio set plus. Babs is a MANTEL Radio with AUTOMATIC TUNING. She has 8 stations on Push-Button Tuning. You don't need a tuning knob; you don't need a dial. You press a button, and your favourite station comes on the air right away. Easier than dialing a telephone number! Another thing! . . Tasma's Babs has an 8" speaker. . and that's never before been done in a set of this size! The Tasma Babs is a set in a million. For appearance, tone, volume, and superlative performance, it reaches a peak which makes the price hard to believe . . but GO AND HEAR IT!
