I hate to think it, but I wonder if DuMont was so snooty that they only wanted to market their sets to affluent areas, such as New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and not to middle-America? Kind of like Caphart's Hi-Fi ad stating "If you have to ask the price, please don't write our sales office". Maybe DuMont was saying "If you live outside of uptown, you can't afford a DuMont".
