What you’re looking at

This page contains three distinct pieces: **Main Feature: "Mr. Edison's Ambition"** - An advertisement/promotional article featuring Thomas Edison's stated goal to place a phonograph in every home. The text emphasizes that Edison Phonographs have improved dramatically from the "squeaky out-of-date machines" people remember from public spaces. This is essentially advertorial content promoting Edison's Gold Moulded Records technology as superior to competitors' products. The accompanying portrait shows Edison himself. **Legal Notice: "Monks Own Chartreuse"** - A news item about a U.S. court injunction regarding genuine Chartreuse liqueur. French Carthusian monks were forced into exile in Spain, and the French government appropriated their trademark. The monks now manufacture authentic Chartreuse in Spain while French distillers sell imitation versions, leading to legal disputes over authenticity. **Humor Column: "Little Boy and Sunday School"** - A brief joke about a street child refusing Sunday school, claiming he's not "one o' these Sunday school Chris'mus tree bad boys"—implying the charity aspect embarrasses him. **Bottom: Santa Fe Railway Advertisement** for the "California Limited" train service.

More than half of you who read this are thinking of the squcaky out-of.date machines in stations and ferry-houses, and the roaring scratchy imitations that your neighbor played silly tunes on all summer. Don’t forget that your neighbor played the kind of music Ae likes and he enjoyed it. With an Eptson Pnoxocrapit you can have your kind too The Epison Pitoxocrarit amuses—it thrills, It edu- cates the children; providing a grade of music in rendering and perfection of tone, that nothing else on earth can bring into the home. It is the safe resource of the hostess. It plays for dancing. It is the vaudeville, the play, the concert: It plays the things you like as often as you It is better than the show itself, where more than half bores you and only part is pleasing. It is your own little show, with slippers and smoking-jacket, in town or country. In mechanical features it is far superior to anything of its kind ever produced. It runs tor years without variation. Three-fourths of our purchasers say, “If I'd known the Eptsox Pioxocrarn was like haf I'd have bought one long ago.” They thought it hateful—they found it indispensable. Don't judee it unfairly.
