Hi Budi and welcome to the Phourm!
Well your set is known as a farm radio.That means this it was designed to be powered by batteries as in 1935 when it was built not everyone had electricity. Out of the back of the set there should be a large cable ending into a connector with 7 or so pins on it. This is the power cable that would connect to a large battery that would have several different voltages to power the radio. These batteries haven't been sold for a long time. So you have two options. Build your own battery using modern cells (pretty expensive) or buy or build a 110v power supply to run to power your set. BTW Where in Pa are you? I'm near Philly.
