Come and see these patented Victrola features Tapering Tone Arm—with its exact taper and perfectly smooth bore, which is scientifically calculated and “constructed to conform to the expanding sound waves created by the sound-box. *‘Goose-neck’. Sound-box Tube—the flexible metal connection between the sound-box and tapering tone arm, which enables the Victor Needle to follow the record grooves with unerring accuracy. Concealed Sounding-boards and Amplifying Compartment of Wood—provide the very limit of area of vibrating surface and sound amplifying compartment, so absolutely essential to an exact and pure tone reproduction. Modifying Doors—may be opened wide thereby giving the tone in its fullest volume; or doors may be set at any degree graduating the volume of tone to exactly suit every requirement. Closed tight the volume is reduced to a minimum and when not in use the interior is fully protected. Victor System of Changeable Needles—a perfect reproduction is possible only with a perfect point—therefore a new needle for each record is the only positive assurance of a perfect point. You also have your choice of full tone, half tone or further modification with the fibre needle. When you hear the wonderful tone of the Victrola and see how the Victrola system of changeable needles enables you to enjoy every record to the fullest extent, you will realize why the Victrola is universal- ly actknowledged the greatest of all musical instru- ments. There are Victrolas in great variety from$15 to $300, and terms can be arranged to suit your convenience. - Barker’s Drug and Jewelry Store "HIS MASTER'S VOICE™ Bemidji, Minnesota. * % & k&KX HKKKKXKKKF|honor of T.
