You can scarcely mention a name famous
in opera or on the concert stage today without
naming a Victor artist. The world's leading
artists selected the Victrola as the one instru
ment worthy o representing them in your
home, to charm you with the beauty of their
art. The public has 'accepted the judgment of
the artists and given its entHusiastic preference
to the Victrola. When you purchase an instru
ment you want the one which artists arid public
alike acclaim as the best ttie Victrola.
