the music-loving public. They present the unique opportunity
of a direct personal observation of their exquisite interpretations
for comparative consideration with their historic Victor Records.
Attend the concerts of these great artists, being particularly
careful to observe the individual characteristics that so plainly
identify their renditions.
Then visit any Victor dealer's and hear the Victor Records
by the same artists. You will be instantly convinced that on
the Victrola you actually hear these artists true to the very life.

of the Victrola, so firmly established on a basis of great things
actually accomplished; a supremacy readily recognized and
acknowledged by the world's greatest artists who make records
for the Victrola exclusively.
