Three Million Dollars
IT cost Thomas A. Edison, and
l. many years of labor. to develop
the New Edison, the "Phonograph
with a Soul" AS he produced it,
perfect in every detail, so it is sold

human voice and musical instru-
mcnts so marvelously that when
demonstrated in direct comparison
with the artists, detection is impos-
sible. Each model is manufactured
at the lowest possible cost, and may
be had in period designs, most pop

of case in keeping with any style
