You simply cannot afford to make a

Its quality-or lack Of qualty-may make
or mar the home circles pleasure for many
year to come.
Yet some people do make a vital mistake
in this very thing.
The chief cause for trouble is this: The
terms ''Pianola" and "Pianola Piano"
become so commonly known-so widely
accepted-so standardised-that many peo-
pie take "Pianola" to mean any piano
player and "Pianola Piano" to mean any
piano with player built into it.
Very few Of the Pianola's imitators care
to correct this common mistake. So for
your own interest, learn the truth here and
now: Be SURE it is Piano1a Piano.

Victors and Vic

The Victor and Yictrola are the
greatest musical instruments the
world has ever known.
You can judge of their perfection by
the fact that President Taft, besides max
ing records for the Victor, has a Victor
himself. SO has President Diaz, of Mex
leo, and His Holiness Pope Plus X.
And among the crowned heads Of Europe
and Asia who use the Victor for their
pleasure may be mentioned the King of
England, the Emperor Of Germany, the
King of Italy, the Queen of Spain, the
King of Portugal and the Shah of Persia.
With all the money at their command
these rulers can secure nothing that gives
them so much pleasure as the Victor.

This contention was the basis of the

circumstances here, in order to recover
back the money lawfully paid out by
II, must, as q part of it's case. prove
