A WORD ABOUT
GOLD-MOULDED
RECORDS " ~

Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
were the first moulded records on the
market by about a year.
They always have been Gold-mould-
ed gold mould is the only economi-
cal and efficient mould known to the
art.
old engraved records because they
Hard records last longer and have a
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 ex-
pensive than engraved records. The
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, a gOld-lined mould is made
from the original, and the product of
that mould is n smoothly finished CYL
inder, with the sound record already
on it. The life of the original is in
creased 10 times, hundred times,
thousand times.
\ record is not more expensive be-
cause it is gOld-moulded.
1t is less expensive.
Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
are new records, made by a new pro-
cess. They are not only gold-mOulded.
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 a large ship
ment of these improved records, maxi
ing our stock a very complete one.
