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.
