' I L , Just because people are not familiar with, them, many records which possess real musical beauty remain rather obscurely hidden within the pages of the Victor Record catalog. It is to be expected that the music which is familiar should be generally selected by record purchasers. The "great masterpieces" will ever retain their hold upon the affections of music-lovers. But there are many other num bers also distinguished by musical merit as well as by age with which the public is all too little acquainted. Music that once heard will forever charm you with its beauty. Browse again through the pages of your Victor Record catalog with these less-familiar selections in mind. Mark any which may appeal to you. Or drop in at your Victor dealer's and ask him to play some of the "not so well known" though beautiful numbers. We feel sure you will be rewarded by some real gems of music and enter tainment. Victor Talking Machine Co., Camden, N J Important Notice.
