ZeNEW EDISON
Diamond Disc Phonograph
During the Lenten season home musicales are an especially
appropriate form of entertainment. An hour of music in the
evening brings joy to every member of the family. It
smoothes away the cares of business and soothes your tired
spirit.
No mere talking machine can give the same amount of pleasure as
"The Phonograph With a Soul," for it is the only instrument that
actually re-creates the voice of the living singer or the strains of
band or orchestra with absolute fidelity to nature.
