MINOR & CO. GOOD GOODS" "GOOD GOODS" mi QOOOOQOOQQOOQQaOOOOQOOCOQQOQOQQOOOOOQOOl Read these Extracts from the St. Louis Papers the Day following the Wonderful Comparison which is here illustrated. ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC "The problem ot music in the home is solved when the singing of the greatest artists is made possible by an instrument that does not betray itself in the very pres ence of the artist." GLOBE-DEMOCRAT "None in the audience was able to distin guish when Miss Case ceased singing, ex cept by observing that her lips did not move. The unison between the tones of her voice and the reproduction on the in strument was so remarkable that trained ears could not detect the slightest differ ence." POST-DISPATCH "The test convinced many skeptics of the triumph of Mr. Edison's genius in re-creating the human voice in all its naturalness." Let Us Prove It to You WE WANT you to hear this won derful new Instrument, which the New York Globe calls "the phonograph with a soul." After you have heard It, we are sure you will not be satis fled with a talking machine. Let us prove through your own ears that the New Edi son does literally Re-Create all forms of music. NOTICE: Please do not ask us to sell you Edison Re-Creations if you intend to at tempt to play them on any other instru ment than a New Edison. No other instru ment can bring out the true musical qual ity of Edison Re-Creations.. Furthermore, injury to the records is likely to result if you attempt to play them on an ordinary phonograph or talking muchine.
