Great Invention Improves Horn
Think of all the music of the world
all of the languages and all of the fu
and entertainment as well In one little
machine! Such is the Edison new styl
1908 Model Phonograph, the greatest
Invention that the world ever has
known.
All readers should be glad of the op
portunlty to know of this wonderful
offer whereby you may secure a gen
ulne Edison 1908 , Model Phonograph'
for a free trial In your own home a
free trial lasting at least several days
week If necessary. .
Music Moves the World
When an offer so stupendously liberal
as this Is made I think It the duty of
this paper to bring it to the notice of
Its readers. Music moves the world and
muslo should be in every home. The
offer made here is one which gives you
an opportunity to bring all of the best
muslo of the world, all of the highest

opera, all of the great piano selections,
all of the wondrously beautful songs,
the great violin solos, monologues, reel
tatlons and vaudeville skits right under
your own roof for an absolutely free
trial lasting a week if necessary.
I believe that every reader of thl
paper should take advantage of this
offer. The Edison Phonograph Dlstrlb
uters of Chicago tell me that free trial
means free trial, and that they will
stand back of every offer made here.
Since this Is a large business house of

that they will do everything they say,
Think of it! They will loan you
-phonograph and charge you. not one
penny for rental.

Better Than Piano or Organ
The Phonograph is better than a
piano or an organ, its ' cost is about
one-tenth as much, and its power to
entertain and please is a hundred times
greater. The- Phonograph Is rapidly
supplanting the piano in thousands of
homes. Where those Instruments pre
viously furnished the music, whatever
tnuslo there wav the Phonograph
' atands now,
Some of the greatest muslo writers
of the day,the great . composer of
music, and even the most renowned
critics of technique and execution have
praised the perfect new atyje 1908
model Edison Phonograph. Henry T.
Flnck, an eminent writer on music, says
In a magazine article: "I would rather
hear Sousa's band in' one of these su
perior Phonographs than in the con
cert hall, because the record makes It
less noisy, while at the same time pre
serving., the peculiar quality of tone
color of every Instrument."
When such statements as these are
made by a man as well known in the
musical world as is Prof. Flnck; it Is
easy to tell why the people, living on
the farms and in the smaller towns,
, have such exceptionally fine entertain
ments and enjoy their homes so thor
oughly. They ,have provided them
selves with Edison Phonographs.
New Songrs Always
The country never Is without Its new
songs, catchy, pretty and bubbling with
the exultant feeling of a successful na
tlon. These songs usually originate In
New York and take months to travel
westward. If you have a Phonograph
you may have these new songs all the
time; you may keep pace with the world
and you may learn these songs by heart
simply by hearing them sung over and
over again by the Phonograph. "Why,
where did you hear that new song? 1
have been Just dying to hear It," Is an
expression heard frequently when the
owner of a Phonograph sings airily a
new tune his Phonograph has taught
him weeks before It reaches his partic
ular district
You Cannot Imagine How Much
Happiness
you will get from this instrument un
til It Is set up In' your home and begins
to play the pieces which stir your very
soul. Turn your back and you will be
almost willing to swear that a great
sotor or a sweet singer is standing be
hind you.
