ELLIS 
Melodious Reproducer 
It makes all the difference in the world. It resurrects the “living voice” of the 
artist who made the record. All the tone values of instrumental music, solo or 
orchestral are brought out perfectly and harmoniously with the overtones which 
musicians listen for. Nothing is lost in tone. 
Words cannot convey to you an adequate idea of how much this wonderful little 
device will do to improve the playing of records. You must see it—hear it—compare 
the effect with any and all other reproducers you know of; then you will understand 
why every music lover owner of a phonograph who hears the Ellis Reproducer wants 
to own one.

The Homely Origin of the Windsor Chair

tie silver trumpet for the drivers to stop 
at the quaint, tiny shop where lived an 
old cabinet-maker. 
One can understand the confusion that 
came to the old man at receiving a call 
from the royal personages who had 
never halted their coach in that 
street before, and his great pleasure 
when the king and queen showed such 
lively interest in a Windsor chair he 
was then making. Confusion passed 
away and the maker of furniture, des¬ 
tined to become world famous, was able 
to talk on a subject of common interest 
when nobility showed an uncommon 
pleasure in a work that seemed ordinary 
to him. 
The cabinet-maker in his talk about 
his wbrk let it be known to the king that 
in a small way he had been making the 
chairs for nearly a half century, and 
the museums in England and America 
today bear evidence that such was the 
truth, for they have samples of the 
man’s original work that date back of 
1750. The king complimented the old 
man on being able to do such excellent 
work, and orders were left by the queen 
for several different styles for use in 
Windsor Castle. 
So far as known, the kind words 
spoken to him by George II and his 
queen, and the extra sovereigns left with 
him by them on that day of the great 
visit, were the only especial encomiums 
the originator of the Windsor ever re¬ 
ceived for his great work. The graceful 
lines and curves of the chairs in the 
little shop remained in the minds of the 
royal guests and the social advertising 
they thereafter did in his behalf re¬ 
sulted in the making of the chairs upon 
a larger scale than ever before. Yet 
nothing more is known of the maker. 
In this country the Windsor chair was 
first made in Philadelphia previous to 
1763, and in New York in that year; 
some time later in Boston. After that 
the chair became very popular and now 
and then has come and gone in the styles 
of furniture. Just now it is again in 
vogue and is made in large numbers, 
many of them on the exact lines laid
