The Possibilities Developed,

The success of the Disc type Of Graph
ophane which uses flat, indestructib.e
records, is largely due to the fact that
the Columbia Phonograph Company,
pioneers and leaders in the talking ma
chine art, has developed the possibili-
ties in both the machines and the
records beyond all expectations. 1t
was able to do this because it is the only
company in the talking machine field
having complete laboratory and q
manufacturing plant on broad and com.
prehensive basis. Its facilities for ex-
perimentation and for manufacturing
are on very large scale. 1t does not
have to rely on inexperienced manu-
facturers for any part of the product it
offers for sale. 1t makes its own ma
chimes and it's own records from start TO
finish which is fundamental advantage
Of the first magnitude.
The Disc Graphophone is made in
three types, selling at SIS, $40 and $50
Seven inch records SOC each, S. per doz.
10 inch records 81 each, $40 per dozen.
The Graphophone and Columbia Rec
ords were awarded the Grand Prize at
the Paris Exposition of 1900
The Columbia Phonograph Company,
SS Wabash Avenue, Chicago, headquar
ters for graphophones and talking ma
chine supplies of every kind, will send
you catalogues on application.
Here isa wrinkle in the telling of a
horses age that is worth remembering:
After the eighth year the horse has no
more new teeth, says Dental Hints, so
that the tooth method is useless
for telling the age of horse which is
more than eight years old. AS soon as
the set of teeth is completed, however,
a wrinkle begins 10 appear on the upper
edge of the lower eyelid, and new
wrinkle is added each year, so that to
get at the age of horse more than
eight years old you must figure the teeth
plus the wrinkles.
