At a turn of the hand the Ultona
plays any type of record. A child
can do it. It is practically automa
tic. -

be bought according to your favor

maker has a famous tenor. On a
one-record instrument . you can
hear him only. Others are barred.
And who likes to be restricted?
The Ultona is the greatest fea
ture offered any music lover.' And
it is obtainable solely on the new

Another vast improvement in
tone projection is the Brunswick
Tone Amplifier, built of moulded
wood, like a violin.
