  • THURSDAY* JANUARY 8. 1976 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN and were also Harry Hyatt, WCU graduate. John Hannah. almost WCU graduate with one quarter to go. and Allen Grant, a WCU graduate of sorts - So you can see our hearts are firmly in Cullow bee THE BRIDGE SOUND CO In faci the Bridge has been here for over four years combining hometown service with the most comprehensive com- sumer protection plan in the industry, the guaranteed low est prices in the US on all the home stereo systems we sell. We have the largest ami most current selection of records and tapes in Western North Carolina. ADVENT fm RECEIVING STATION$125 Advent's newest product is unique. Fred Goldstein, Advent's vice president, once told us that "for Advent to manufacture a new product it must meet several requirements; it must fill a need that no other product on the market does, it must do it at a price that makes it marketable, it must be simple, uncomplicated and be a good value." Well they've done it again. If you spend a lot of your life in places where a component sound system would feel to elaborate or expensive to have around, here's something to keep you company. An FM tuner that rivals some of our best receivers when pulling in those weak stations, a thirty foot extension for the speakers so you can take it almost anywhere in the house, and input and output facilities for record player or tape recorders, it has to be seen and heard to ^ believe Price $125.00. BRIDGE SOUND SYSTEM ADVENT-KENWOOD-GARRARD-P!CKERING< $375 System $375 is built around the Advent II loudspeaker. Its sound is very close to the original Advent and small Advent except for the very last half octave of bass. Its bass is superior to most speakers selling for a lot more money. Hear it compared at equal volume to the Bose 301 and the Marantz Imp 6, for instance. We power the Advent Ii's with the Kenwood KR 1400 Stereo receiver. The AM and FM tuner sections of this Kenwood are both sensitive and selective enough to pull in weak stations with fullness and clarity. A high quality receiver in a modest price range. The Garrard 440M automatic turntable with the Pickering V15/ATE4 cartridge can be worked automatically for multiple play or as a manual turntable for those who want to take special care of their records. So with the efficiency of the Advent Ii's and Kenwood's fine tuner and power capabilities you can get a fine sounding stereo system for $375. Take the savingi off its list price of $428 and our Buyer Protection and you get more true value. BRIDGE SOUND SYSTEM ADVENT-HARMAN-KARDON-GARRARD-PICKERING $455 4^5 puts together for the first time ever a music system that can reproduce the full audible range of music. Including that very low bass that's hard to find at any price, let alone $ 4 5 5 The Small Advent loudspeakers are the key to this system. They are the little brother of the famous Advent Loudspeaker. The only compromise with this speak er is a necessary one. In order to get all of that last half octave of bass a slight sacrifice in effiency had to be made. They will perform great and reach loud listening levels with 15 watts per channel or more. That makes the Hartnan Kardon 330B such a prize in this system. It delivers a hearty 18 watt per channel with a fine AM/FM tuner. This receiver is a nationally accepted best buy in the $200 receiver class. The Garrard 440M is the turntable. In addition to the features already mentioned in System 1, it has a cueing mechnaism and anti-skate control. The total list price •8 $518 Our System price is $455 and that includes our Buyer Protection Plan. >>:.:■. oSx*:::-:-*:: BRIDGE SOUND SYSTEM $630 ftDVENT-KENWOOD-B.i.C.-SHURE «r-www Page 4 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIMI£ LTD®* ©©LT@DBra® I L?©©©©Lr©La] §)F®Qi][p I STATE OFFICE. 704 A Ninth Street P.O. Box 2901 Durham, N.C. 27705 (919) 286-2275 = The North Carolina Public Interest Research Group (NC PIRG) today charged the NC Utilities Commission with violating North Carolina law in issuing its November 14th clarifying letter to electric and gas utilities regarding advertising. In a letter to Commission Chairman Marvin R. Wooten. NC PIRG objected that the November 14th Commission release directly contradicted a 1974 order issued by the Commission regrading advertising by Duke Power Company. Before modifying this previous order, PIRG continued, the Commission must observe the statutory requirement of giving notice and an opportunity to be heard to all parties to the proceeding which resulted in the order. The Commission's November 14th letter stated that utility companies are not generally prohibited from charging the cost of institutional, or goodwill, advertising to customers. The cost of this advertising will be "reviewed on a case-by-case basis", the Commission said. NC PIRG pointed out that, as a result of hearings held during the summer of 1974 on Duke Power Company's request for a rate hike, the Commission ordered Duke Power to eliminate institutional advertising as an operating expense and to disband its public relations staff. NC General Statute 62-80 states that the Commission may "at any time upon notice to the public utility and to the other parties of record affected, and after opportunity to be heard... amend any order or decision made by it." NC PIRG requested the Commission to issue a clarification of its November 14th release which states that it does not apply to institutional advertising by Duke Power. The group also insisted that the Commission extend to all parties to the 1974 proceeding notice and an opportunity to be heard before any modification of the October 1974 order takes place. "The day when North Carolina consumers would stand by and let Duke Power take their money to propagandize them is long gone." said Peter W. Brown. PIRG staff attorney.
