Victor- Victrola IX, $50 



Mahogany qr oak 



That's where the Victor- Victrola victor-victroia vi, $25 

 is pre-eminent. 



You might be able to build a 

 cabinet that outwardly would re- 

 semble a Victor-Victrola. You 

 might even copy the inside construc- 

 tion and details, if they were not pro- 

 tected by patents. But there is no 

 copying the superior Victor-Victrola 

 tone-quality. 



That represents years of patient exper- 

 iment — with various woods, with differ- 

 ent proportions, with numerous vibratory 

 surfaces — and it is simply astonishing 

 how slight a variation in size, in shape, in 

 position, seriously affects the tone quality. 

 No, the Victor-Victrola tone can't be 

 equaled! Even though the eye could 

 take in every detail of construction, 

 there is still that same indescribable 

 "something" which makes the Stradiva- 

 rius supreme among violins, which gives 

 to the Victor-Victrola the wonderfully 

 sweet, clear and mellow tone that has 

 established this instrument as pre- 

 eminent in tone quality. 



Hear the Victor-Victrola today at the nearest 

 Victor dealer's— you'll spend a 

 delightful half-hour and come 

 away with a greater love for 

 music and a more thorough ap- 

 preciation of this superb instru- 

 ment.
