Wonderful Invention
For Talking Machines
Considered Greatest Improve
ment in Years

Free demonstrations are now being
given at 9l5 Market street of the won
derful new device for talking machines
1t is known as the Fegley automatic
control. II is the first and only device
of its kind, and is the result of years of
careful research and the expenditure of
thousands of dollars.
With this control on your photograph
all you have to do is to place the needle
on the record The control does the rest.
1t automatically starts the machine and
at the conclusion of the music automatl-
cally lifts the needle off the record and
automatically stops the motor instantly
and quietly. All this is accomplished with
out any setting or the moving of any
levers whatsoever. The beauty of it all
is that it does it every time without fail.
In fact it eliminates all of the annoying
features and aggravatlng Inconvenience
Of the old-fasbioned methods of starting
and stopping your phonograph. As it is
fool-proof and cannot get out of order it
gives 100 per cent satisfaction.
While the control is a most unique
device in its construction, ITS simplicity
Is It's outstanding virtue. A chief engineer
of one of the largest talking machine COM
panles In the world, after inspecting the
device 1of twenty minutes, look tile Turn
table off to see how t was connected to the
motor, and he was most astonished when
he found nothing under the turntable or
no connections with the motor in any
way.
The device is now being manufactured
by the Victor Fegley Company, Inc, Of
New York and will be placed on sale
throughout the United States within the
next few weeks. The device can be placed
on any make of machine and operates on
any make or size of record.
In view of the fact tha fortunes have
been spent in research work by the leading
talking machine manufacturers in the
United States in the endeavor TO find this
identical device, it is well worth YOU
while to drop In and see it operate.

Romance of the Talking Machine" il

AMERICAN FIRMS ALARMED.
Those Having Branches in Italian Cities
Concerned Over Situation.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Rome, Sept. 2S.-Several American
firms having plants in Italy have become
alarmed over the situation here and 1t Is
declared they would prefer quitting busi-
ness rather than have their property
seized by workmen.
Their alarm is largely due, it is said, to
misunderstanding of the Italian word
"controllo." which wrongly translated
has been taken to mean control"
Its real significance is, however, that the
men would be allowed to take part in the
technical, financial and disciplinary man
agement of factories.
