If you have never done so a revela- tion of the music possibilities in this perfected phonograph awaits you. Tones, so delicately beautiful that they could never be voiced by a phono- graph before, enchant the ear. Sweet, full richnesses of round, deep tone sound with the very vibrancy of life. The long familiar meagreness of lower tones has gone. ‘The unmusical met- allic phonograph qualities have dis- appeared, thanks to its marvelous new Sound Box. Because of its wonderful Symphonetic Horn the true, the deli- cate, the diving character of each single instrument is preserved and set apart, distinguishing it subtly from the rest.

Owing to its relatively limited output, it is on exhibition and sale, at present, only in certain cities. To all who write, information as to where it may be seen will be sent.
