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.

The Bohn Has Been Proved and Tested
under extremes of tem
perature and atmospheric
conditions and has come
through all the tests with
flying colors. That is
why Bohns are used ex
clusively by the Pullman
Company and Railroads in
their dining and buffet
cars, where only the most
reliable food saving ap
pliances can avail against
the trying conditions.
That is why the Bohn
Syphon is the ideal fam

tion and economy of maintenance.
