RECREA TWN. 



m PROVED 



AS A CHRISTMAS PRESENT 



CAN you think of anything more pleasantly surprising- or more thoroughly delight- 

 ful on Christmas morning than to be the means of introducing right into the 

 Family Circle, through the indestructible and wonderfully life-like reproductions of 

 the Gram-o-phone, voices of sweet singers and great orators, and the music of the best 

 bands and finest soloists in the world ? 



Better, ten times over, than a banjo, a cornet, a violin or trombone, for it is all 

 these and many more, as played by their respective masters. 



And it isn 't a mere transient pleasure you are thus affording, but a source of the 

 most varied entertainment for years to come, and- of the very highest class, new 

 records being made of everything that becomes popular in the amusement world as 

 fast as it makes a " hit." 



"The best thing of the kind I know oi 

 to entertain oneself and friends," 



writes the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew. Its reputation is already world-wide. One, 

 was recently ordered for the Imperial Palace in Constantinople ; even the Sultan 

 apparently recognizing the fact that for Making Home Attractive, there's nothing 

 like the Gram-o-phone. 



Do not confound it with 

 instruments using wax! rec- 

 ords that are ruined by a 

 touch, or with those that have 

 been discredited by using 

 records that are fraudulent. 

 Our records are all 



(1) — Flat, not cylindrical. 



(2) — Permanent. 



(3) — Signed as proof of authenticity.

 ONCE, on the instalment plan — $5.00 down and $3.00 per month for
