RECREA riON. 



XI 



There is, in fact, no form of entertainment addressed to the ear which cannot be 5 

 reproduced upon the Gram-O-PHONE. \ 



And reproduced successfully. * 



For it should be understood by all that the GRAM-O-PHONE is an entirely new proc- 

 ess which only reached its present state of perfection the past summer, and its superb 

 reproductions should not, for a moment, be confounded with the indistinct and feeble * 

 imitations of other methods. 



It is the only sound-reproducing instrument which, by actual test, has been heard > 

 in every part of the New York Metropolitan Opera-House ; J 



The only one on which high C is satisfactorily reached ; 



The only one that " talks talk." 5

Gentle?ne>i : — The Gramophone which we secured from you has more 

 than exceeded our expectations. W e were much surprised and pleased 

 with the clearness of the tones, and the volume as well, which is suffi- 

 cient to fill an ordinary-sized hall or church. We can heartily recom- 

 mend it to be all that jou claim for it. 



Yours, very truly, THE INTERIOR.
