by the Shriners in pretically all parts
of the West Heavy rains were found

that an attempt would be made to
hold up the Shriners and the govern
ment strengthened its guard about
the stage coaches The report, il
was said, grew out of comment on
the large amounts Of money carried
and spent by the Shriners.

the American caveat. warning the
London foreign Office that the United
States will not recognize orders in
council which violate international
law. The Natchez case was that of

So effective is the Russian defense

The newspapers today printed
prominently the closing words of Min

The Sounding Board
Horn

1t would be impossible to estimate
the time devoted in determining the
comparative acoustic properties of sub
stances. 1t would even be unwise to
guess how many years Adirondak Sill
YER Grain Spruce has been accepted
peer of all.
1t is fundamentally right, therefore
that. it should be used in the tone pro-
ducing parts of the Phonograph where
the vibration MUST be greatly magni
fed. ~
The Sounding Board Horn of the
Starr Photograph hangs free with an
unrestricted vibration from the small
est end Of the graduated neck to the
widest flare of the horn. There is not
a joint or metal connection which will
retard the magnificent tone.
Yet this is not wholly responsible
for the unequalled Starr Tone, 1t is
this in connection with the other fea
lures which we would like to demon
strate to you. ~=--e

The Heart of the
PhOnOgraph

The heart is the center of all action
The one most important, most vital
organ in nature. That is why we term
the sound box the heart Of the Phono'
graph.
To the casual observer, the Starr
Sound Box is just sound box. To the
scientific investigator it presents a new
solution Of the basic problem of Pho
nographic reproduction. But to you
as a prospective owner neither its
form nor principle are important.
Does it improve the tone quality?
We ask for an opportunity to dem
onstrate that it does; that now, for the
first time, every tone vibration may
be heard unmarried. No question as
to what instrument recorded the disc
enters your mind because It is repro
duced absolutely true.
The Starr Sound Box IS distinctly
different in results. Come in and
prove this to yourself. IS - -
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1915-12-07
The Universal
PhOnOgraph

There is but one right way to
play each type Of disc record,
You can not satisfactorily play
a "hill and dale" record with a
laterally arranged point nor "lat-
erar' grooves record with a "hill
and dale" point. 49,.
The Starr Photograph is the only
one primarily designed to play all disc
records with the styles in the proper
position for which each was intended
You might as well be able to play
every record on the machine you buy
and the Starr Tone is distinctly SUI
perior regardless of what type Of rec
ord you choose.
We can demonstrate to you that the
Starr Photograph will play any rec
ord better than the machine for which
it was originally intended.
Does that interest you?

The Artistic
Photograph

The incompatible tone of the
Starr Photograph would be just
as true, just as natural if the
case were of the toughest unfin-
ished boards, but cultured folk
demand art in both design and
finish.
The Starr is obviously the on
ly Photograph given a piano fin
ish throughout. Craftsmen long
skilled in the standard demanded
in the Starr product have Great
ed an instrument distinct in de-
sign and of unusual finish among
smaller musical instruments.
If for no other reason you should
select the Starr, knowing that no other
Photograph retailing at approximately
the same price is its equal in de-
sign and finish.
