Victor records and Victrola instruments are
specially made to be used together. They arc
scientifically synchronized, and that is possible
only because both are the products of the
Victor Talking Machine Company,
The need for this harmonization is so
apparent to the great artists who make Victor
records that they exercise zealous care in coop

Victor organization to achieve the perfect result.
It is only when you play Victor records on
Victrola instruments that you get the benefit of
the combined efforts of these master artists and
master artisans. That is the only way to hear
the greatest singers and instrumentalists in all
the beauty of their art.
There are Victrola instruments in great
