Do Yourself
This Favor

Learn something about the con.
struction OF photograph.
One of the first things you
should learn is that the tone of
a phonograph--its most important
quality--is dependent upon the
throat through which the sound
is sent.
The most wonderful violins in
history were those made by Stra-
divarius and Amati two centuries
ago, now preserved as priceless
treasures. These violins were
made of Silver grain Spruce, the
wood which gives perfect tone
qualities.
The throat of the Starr phono-
graph is also made of Silver Grain
Spruce, the wonder wood. It's
tones are so remarkable, compar-
ed with those of other phono-
graphs, that it has been called,
"the singing throat" Of the Starr.
Come in and hear the Starr
played. just to show yourself what
the Singing throat can actually
do.
The new Gennett records of the
same make are equally superior
and will improve the tone OF any
photograph.
