J The Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph Is the Product of the World's Greatest Inventor till No Needles to Change Unbreakable Records Thirty years ago Thomas A. Edison invented the first sound reproducing instru ment. Since then many have adapted his original idea. But mere mechanical re production of sound is not enough for the real music lover. So Mr. Edison, after thirty years, again applied his s u p e r-k now ledge of chemistry and acoustics to the problem. And now the master in ventor has produced an in strument that does more than reproduce sound. It Re-Creates the original music without the slightest deviation in quality. lie called it "perfect" the New Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph. We .will be glad to play the New Edison for you.
