BECAUSE in distinctness, volume and carrying- power 

 it is so manifestly superior to all other Talking- 

 Machines as to be in a class entirely by itself. Above 

 all, it does not distort or caricature the Voice. 



It is the only process by which a PERMANENT, 

 INDESTRUCTIBLE Talking or Musical Record can be 

 made — not merely for a day, but for future generations. 



It has never brought discredit upon itself by amateur 

 or fraudulent records — all its records being made in our 

 own laboratories, by experts, from actual performances by 

 the most celebrated artists, public speakers, etc., each of 

 whom has signed his or her name, which appears on 

 the record as proof of its authenticity* 



These are reasons why it 

 is considered a privilege by all 

 who have investigated its merits 

 to be included among those who 

 through the Improved Gram-o- 

 phone (Zon-o-phone) are furnish- 

 ing the most novel, delightful and 

 widely varied HIGH-CLASS EN- 

 TERTAINMENT to thousands 

 of families in all parts of the world, and for all coming time*
