"The Victrola Room"
1- " A
ONE of these pretty, new, wrme,
soundproof rooms will be devoted
exclusively to the exquisite Vietrolas.
The Victor-Victrola is the most perfect
musical instrument the world has even known.
With the improved sound-amplifying surfaces
and all moving parts completely con
cealed in an artistic cabinet, it appeals
to music lovers who have heretofore
denied themselves the pleasure of own
ing a Victor, simply because of their
fancied objection to the prominence of
the horn.
The New $50.00
Victrola-Hornless
Only a short time ago the Victor
Company astonished the musical
world by offering the Victrola X, a
hornless machine, at $50. It ia fin
ished in either mahogany or oak,
with "wall of Troy" carved frieze.
Extra heavv double-sprine motor.
Ask to have it played or let us send
one to your home ou trial. Price $50, on our Cln.b Plan.
Victrola XI, Price $100 mahogany or oak, paneled with moulding
in relief. Gold-plated tone arm.
Victrola XIV, Price $150 mahogany or oak. as illustrated. Gold
plated tone arm, sound box and trimmings. Record filing racks below.
Victrola XVX Price $200 solid mahogany or quartered oak. Gold-
