Why Does the Victrola Have
 Changeable Needles?

That is a question frequently asked and the answer is:
 Because a ehanReable needle with a perfect point is absolutely necessary to properly play any record;
 Because a changeable needle is the only system that positively guarantees perfect point for playing every rec ord;
 Because a changeeble needle adapts the different selections to the require ments of various rooms, and to meet the tastes of discriminating people; Because a changeable needle enables you to hear every record just as you want to hear it. October new Records are now ready. Call and hear them.
