one often yields willingly to the call of inner self and finds sweet pleasure
in the soft, appealing strains of "Whispering Mope" and similar selections.
The Brunswick brings this wonderful music into your home for tht
family's betterment and enjoyment at any time.
Christmas! Only one gift this year can make her wonder
fully, completely happy and that is Frigidairc, the modern
method of refrigeration by electricity.
Frigidairc is a real cold storage plant for the home. "fl
Think of a refrigerator that, once installed, you can abso
lutely leave to itself and forget, secure in the knowledge that
month after month, automatically, electrically, it will manu
facture its own "cold" and afford you constant, perfect
lefrigcration!
That is Frigidairc electricity's latest aid to housekeeping.
No iceman; no ice of doubtful purity; no ice shortage; no
ice bills. Perfect refrigeration that prevents food contami
nation, protects the family's health and saves money in the
bargain.
Frigidairc is the one electrical device "she" needs and longs
for the last improvement needed to make her kitchen
complete.
Come and see Frigidairc. Let your wife examine it. Then
surprise her by making it your gift.
Frigidaire will make her Christmas memorably happy!

Radiate Happiness and Good Cheer
How comforting and satisfying is this means of indulg
ing one's desire for old familiar hymns, just at the time
when one is in the mood for them, and the encouragement
they give. And what a splendid way to weld the links
of family attachments and deepen the power of sentiment

that every record collection should contain a number of
them for the sacred hours at home.
Exclusive Brunswick Features
The Ultona
All the needles necessary to play

mounted on one remarkable device
called the "Ultona." A mere turn of the
hand adapts the Ultona to the differ
ent kinds of records. No attachments.
The Oval Tone Amplifier
The full, mellow tones for which
The Brunswick is so noted are partly
due to the all-wood construction of
the tone chamber, which eliminates
those metallic sounds with which you
may be familiar in other phonographs.
The Double Drive Motor
Exclusive with The Brunswick.
Noiseless vibrationless unvary
ing. Accurate as a watch. Winds
easily and noiselessly. It is worm
driven. Built on the vertical spring
principle to avoid vibration.
