The paragraph below was copied directly from a HOW sleeve.  Is this a typo? 
What is "amated?

With our compliments, try this new shatter-proof Hit-of-the-Week Record on
your phonograph. When you hear its bell-true tone and this famous orchestra
s rendition of a smash-hit song selected by the Hit-of-the-Week Music Jury -
you'll be truly amated that such a record can be sold for only 15¢, but you
ll quickly understand why it became America's largest-selling phonograph
record in a few short months.

Bud (with nothing else to do)
