A WORD ABOUT
GOLD-MOULDED
RECORDS X X

Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
were the first moulded records on the
market by about year.
They always have been Gold-mould-
ed y gold mould is the only econoni-
cal and efficient mould known to the
art.
Moulded records are superior to the
old engraved records because they
may be made Of harder material.
lard records last longer and have
better quality of tone.
\ gold-moulded record made of soft
material would be no better in quality
than an engraved record in soft ma
terial.
The best moulded records are not
only Gold-moulded. They are super
hardened.
Gold-moulded records are less cX-
pensive than engraved records. Tie
process is simpler.
Formerly, blank cylinders were
moulded, then shaved. then engraved
from an original. The originals soon
wore out under the reproducing
stylus.
Now, gold-lined mould is made
from the original, and the product of
that mould is smoothly finished cyl
inder, with the sound record already
on it. The life of the original is in
creased 10 times. hundred times, a
thousand times.
a record is not more expensive he
cause it is gold-moulded.
1t is less expensive.
Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
are new records, made by n new pro-
cess. They are not only goldmoulded.
They are super hardened.
Irrespective of price, they are SUI
perior in quality to any other gold
moulded record on the market, and
they sell for only % cents.
We have just received large ship
ment of these improved records. max

Fire At West Grove.

Fire broke out at noon on Thurs
day of last week in Watkins'
slaughter house and for time
threatened to sweep the town, as
it is without fire-fighting apparatus.
The blaze was started by the boil
ing over of a kettle of tallew, the
flames spreading rapidly from the
slaughter house to the stable, the
wagon house and the ice house be-
longing to Mr.. Watkins, and thence
to the tattersall nearby, rented by
Benz. McFadden, all of the build
ings mentioned being totally de-
stroyed. The citizen of the town
with chemical extinguishers and
buckets of water finally managed
to check the further spread of
of the flames. All the buildings
were insured with the exception OF
the ice house.

The Subscriber.

1t has been agreed that news
paper subscriptions are an infal-
lible test Of a mans honesty.
They will sooner or later discover
the man. If he is dishonest he
will cheat the printer in some way
declare he has paid when he has
not-sent money in the mail which
was lost-will take the paper and
not pay for it on the ground that
he never subscribed for it, or move
off and leave it coming to the post
Office he left. Numbers of alleged
christians are dishonest in this,
at least, and the printers book will
tell fearful tales on judgement
day.-Ex.
