the exquisite, delicate tones of the cello
and the violin! You get melody uncon-
tarninated by Objectionable surface noise
that has been considered impossible
to remove UNTIL COLUMBIA

So great is our confidence in the ef-
joyment New Process Columbia Records

No other record can Be like New Pfoczyy
Columbia Records. No one can produce
anything even resembling them, for they
are fully protected by broad basic patents.
In no other record can you get the same
wonderful degree of surface quietness and
pure, uninterrupted music, for the simple
reason that Columbia alone possesses the
secret of making a material which, en-
ployed as a surface for phonograph rec
ords, obliterates obnoxious and intrusive
surface sounds.
This new substance does not hush loud
surface noises. They are never created.
Surface noise is merely friction, the point
Of the needle grinding on microscopic
roughness and multiplied by the sensitive
reproducer. In New Process Columbia
Records this microscopic roughness is re-
fined away till friction is almost fiction.
With new and unbelievably quiet playing
surfaces, tho dream Of making the phonograph

type has become a reality! Columbias new
surface discovery has solved tho whole ques-
toni Reproduction of music has now enter ed
