TONE each separato

New Edison has no tone
of its own. It is merely a
perfect vehicle for the
production of tho artist's
work. There is no foreign
sound, no "talking ma

of the New Edison is nothing but the pure, unaltered, life-like
tone of the original artist. Come in and hear your favorite re

you without obligation.
