THE EDISON
PHONOGRAPH
AND WHAT 1T DOES.

No amusement of modern times
equals the PhOnOgraph. Every pleas
ure that sound can give is condensed
on its cylinders. The PhonOgraph is
the best of all such instruments, be-
cause it does these things simply and
perfectly. 1t will sing for you; it will
talk for you; it will repeat to yOu the
music of famous Bands and Orches-
tras, the sweet voices of famous sing
ers and the precious voices of family
and friends, even though they be
dead. 1t is a remembrance reduced to
the visible presence. 1t preserves
what would have otherwise perished,
and it entertains and amuses people of
all ages and stations beyond any de-
vice, mechanical or otherwise, ever in
vented.
A complete revolution has been made
in the art of Record making. The re-
