If you get the IHPROVED 



GRAn-OPHONE 



You have an instrument which by actual test has completely filled the New York 

 Metropolitan Opera House and which has been distinctly heard with a good 

 volume, in the open air, for nearly half a mile. 



Berliner's great invention itself was scarce- 

 ly more marvelous in its inception than are 

 the improvements to which it has been sub- 

 jected during the past three months — improve- 

 ments making it 1,000 per cent, better than 

 ever before, and placing it in a class entirely 

 alone. The GRAMOPHONE not only 



"TALKS 

 TALK" 



as no other machine ever began to do, 

 but its songs and instrumental music 

 are now genuine reproductions, not for 

 a moment to be confounded with indis- 

 tinct and feeble imitations by less suc- 

 cessful methods. Do not, therefore, 

 make the mistake of thinking you have 

 ever heard a real Talking or Singing 

 Machine till you have heard the Im- 

 proved GRAMOPHONE, with its new 

 sound-box, new motor, and new records; 

 it is positively and pre-eminently with- maurice forko-a
