Happiness is lfe-and real happiness is
found only in a real home. And by
real home | do not mean a house with
yard or farm around it Q, no! A real
home is the place where the happy united

ment and recreation. And the New
Edison makes this possible, for it stands
supreme as the greatest home entertainer:
1t will mean more than entertainment and
merriment; more than an hour Of amuse~
ment. Yes, it will mean genuine pleasure
Of the lasting sort-entertainment and

mean the family united-a new home.
