Novels in a Nutshell “ David Copperfield” ‘Tis David, born in Chapter One, who tells the moving tale; His father dead, his mother destined soon to fade and fail, crucl Murdstone and his sister Jane. Tortured by gloomy Of Peggotty, the faithful nurse, we read in kindlier vein: Barkis, honest carrier, who told her he was willing, And other friends whom David finds, his destiny fulfilling ; Of little Em'ly and her home, the boat on Yarmouth sands, Where Mrs. Gummidge, lone and lorn, laments and wrings her hands. Next we David's schoolmates -~ Steerforth, proud and debonair, meet And cheerful Tommy Traddles, with his comic head of hair; Then good Miss Betsy Trotwood, best of all recorded aunts, And Mr. Dick, whose misty mind King Charles’s head still haunts; “THETIE WITH THE BUTTON-ON TABS” oy Perfect DressTie PATENTED suNea.

Fue Se o trouble to put on or a coll make records only for the Vic! The world’s greatest artists make records only for the world’s greatest musical instruments— Victor and Victor-Victrola As the world’s greatest opera stars make records only for the Victor, it is self-evident the Victor is the only instrument that does full justice to their magnificent voices. And as the Victor reproduces the actual living voices of these famous artists in all their power, sweetness and purity, it is again self- evident the Victor is the one instrument to provide you not only the gems of opera but the best music and entertainment of every kind. Whether you want grand opera or the latest song “hits”, or vaudeville, or minstrel show, or sacred music, or band selections— whatever you want—you get it at its best only on the Victor. Hearing is believing. Any Victor dealer in any city in the world will gladly play any Victor music you wish to hear and demonstrate to you the wonderful Victor-Victrola. Victor-Victrolas $15 to $200. Victors $10 to $100. Always use Victor Records played with Victor Needles— there is no other way to get the unequaled Victor tone.
