There are few people in the world who do not enjoy good music, yet there are many who cannot afford to pay the exorbitant prices heretofore demanded for all high-class talking machines—prices that have made the most wonderful invention of the age a luxury which only the rich could enjoy. 3 The Artophone has been created to meet the popular demand for a Cabinet Talking Machine, equal in every essential quality to the most expensive machines, at a price within easy reach of those of moderate means. After all, one’s object in buying a machine of this character, is to bring to the home at nominal cost all of the great voices of modern opera, the famous orchestras and military bands, the popular songs, the latest dance music, the elo- quence of statesmen and preachers. The Artophone reproduces perfectly, and ‘in a manner tharoughly satisfying to the cultured music-loving ear, any disc record that can be played on any other machine. It is not an elaborate and costly piece of furniture with.a talking machine added, but is a talking machine, a self-playing musical instrument of the first qual- ity, neatly fitted into an exceptionally well made cabinet, sufficiently rich in design and _ finish to ornament even the most pretentious home. It is guaranteed to be equal in every respect to any other machine sold at double its price. Price $55.00 This department is in charge of Mr. K. A. Walker who will be glad to demonstrate for you.
