EsUml4 m tear The- Quality' StoAc or- Portland THE SUNDAY OREGON1AN, POHTLAM). -HMv 13.. 11)20 I Like the Tone of My Columbia Graf onola Best' r happily confided a woman to her husband in the electric train. They had been calling on a friend who had recently purchased another make of phonograph and you could hear the satisfaction of her unenvying statement, "I like my Columbia Grafonola best." In listening to the Columbia there seems to be no consciousness of anything between the hearer and the artist. It is the glorious un foldment of life itself the tone exquisitely pure with all the elusive shading of the theme as rendered by the artist. The new non-set automatic stop makes the Columbia ideal for summer. Start the motor in the regular way by moving the start-lever and then go out to the veranda or upstairs and pay no further attention to its mechanics just enjoy the music and the automatic device will stop the motor when the record is through playing no matter what size record it may be.
