{Her letter) 



"What an extraordinary man Mr. 

 Edison is. He perfects his phonograph 

 to a point where its realism is astound- 

 ing. Then he determines to make 

 each Edison Phonograph, even the 

 least costly, an attractive piece of fur- 

 niture. Instead of the usual dentist- 

 like looking cabinet, his designers have 

 succeeded in putting the character and 

 feeling of the best periods into his 

 phonograph cases. These graceful and 

 artistic productions will be hailed with 

 delight by all who can afford them, and 

 w"ill cause Mr. Edison's rxeyf) phono- 

 graph to be received in many houses 

 where less worthy machines have not 

 been welcomed heretofore." 





This interior shouts the Chippendale 



Cabinet. There are sixteen other 



Edison Period Phonographs 



"PHIS letter comes from the Lest furnisked house 

 in all England. Its writer is England's greatest 

 authority on furniture. Praise from Lady Randolph 

 Churchill is the Old World's stamp of approval on 

 Mr. Edison's adaptations of Europe's richest furni- 

 ture treasures. 



* A reading of her letter, however, shows that Lady 

 Churchill has been led by her furniture-knowledge 

 into a misconception. So artistically conceived, so 

 exquisitely made are these Edison Period Cabinets 

 that she has drawn the very natural conclusion that 



they can be afforded by only the fortunate few. 

 This is absolutely contrary to the fact. Mr. Edison 

 has placed authentic period cabinets within the 

 reach of every one. He has required that a period 

 cabinet be developed for each New Edison — even 

 the lowest-priced models. 



These wonderful instruments in their beautiful 

 cases are pictured and described in our new book, 

 "Edison and Music." Write for it. Thomas A.
