mat He bids fair to prove the pre-
mier grappler of the world"
Besides possessing remarkable
strength. MadraIli is quick and clever.
He is ready for an opponents every
move. and sooner or later lures his
opponent into q position which gives
him . chance to obtain deadly hold
Madralli wrestles with his head as well
as with his legs md arms.
Madralli will be the third Turkish
wrestler to tour the world. YousOuf
was the pioneer Terrible Turk"
He met and defeated all the noted
wrestlers of this country in rather
handy fashion, Tom jenkins, of Cleve-
land, being the only American to put
up fast bout.
Yousouf was a giant, being more
than six feet high and weighing in
the neighborhcod of $50 pounds.
He was succeeded by much larger
and much better Turkish wrestler
in the person of Nouroulah.
He weighed more than $50 pounds
and stood feet and inches in his
feet.
In st. Louis he threw Charley Witt
mer twice in less than five minutes.
Later he went to New York and de-
jenkins. twice in nine minutes
If Madralli is as good as either You
souf or Nouroulah, the American
wrestlers are due to another dumping

A WORD ABOUT
GOLD-MOULDED
RECORDS % ~

Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
were the first moulded records on the
market by about year.
They always have been Gold-mould.
ed. A gold mould is the only economi-
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.
Hard records last longer and have a
better quality of tone.
a 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-mouIded 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 smoothly finished CYL
Under. 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 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 superhardened.
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
ing our stock very complete one.
Call at our waTerooms and invcsti-
gate. We are, and have always been,
sole agents for Columbia goods in
Rock Island. We handle a complete
line of both disc and cylinder ma
chimes. Prices, IS to Sos.
