For a Gift That Is Sure To Be Apprecnated In Any Music-Loving Home _Give the Most Perfect Musical Instru- ment in the World, New Diamond Disc Phonograph Here Are Real Reasons Why Your Choice Should be the i New Edison Diamond Disc Fhonograph: No Needies To Change The new Diamond Stylus, of course does away with both- ersome needles that scratch and destroy records and have other bad features. More important, this highly polished, specmlly mounted Diamond Stylus is so finely balanced that it simply FLOATS over the indestructible sound grooves of the New Diamond Disc records, reproducing perfectly and without the slightest wear. The thousandth repetition finds the record in as perfect condition as the first, while discs on which needles are used wear out rapidly after a certain period of service. The specially mounted Dia- mond Stylus PRESERVES the record. But the main value of the Diamond Stylus lies in the Clearness of reproduction. It brings out all the deli- cate over-tones, preserved in the New Edison Records, that give body and richness to the tone. It creates that full, round, life-like tone peculiar to the Edison. There is no mechanical timbre—no metallic sound— " nothing artificial—just the pure, clear, faithful repro- duction of the original tone. A STATEMENT The recent fire at the Edison Factory was not as serious as first supposed. Most all of the “machinery is intact and can be made available for use within a short time. Very fortunately a building which Mr. Edison had just completed for other pur- poses, one of the largest concrete buildings in the world, is avail- able and this affords ample floor space for manufacturing pur- poses, and in fact, is practically equal to the floor space affected by the fire. All the original moulds, from which the recerds are made, were saved and record making will be resumed shortly and it is expected that new. se- lections will be forthcoming in January. Our own stock of Edison Dia- mond Discs was never in better condition to meet all demands and prospective purchasers, as well as owners of Diamond Disc Instruments who desire to pos- sess new records, can be assured of uninterrupted service. The magnificent spirit and un- dauntable will of Mr. Edison in making _preparations to_rebuild, even before the smoke of the fire had actually cleared, has excited the admiration of everyone and this assurance of uninterrupted The New Edison Disc Phono- graph, therefore, represents the culmination of thirty-five years of endeavor to perfectly repro- duce sound. The New EDISON DISC REC- ORDS, with music on both sides, are as wonderfully superior to anything that has ever been heard before as the New. Edison The New Edison Records now coming in increasing numbers include the NEWEST DANCE MUSIC, comic songs, vaudeville, and popular airs, as well as the finest of GRAND OPERAS and chamber music.

Since the death-of Richard A. Can- field, known as the King of Gamblers, and up to the time:.of the.probating of his will, some of the newspapers in_the larger cliies have persistently referred to = Mrs. - Grace Hanon, a daughter of the deceased. as being a resident of Westerly, R. L. So far as can be ascertained, Mrs. Hanan or any member of the:Canfield family-is not and never has been a resident of Westérly. The ‘only connection with the - Canfield family and Westerly is that Mrs. Genevieve Canfield, widow of Richard A. Canfleld, is the owner of a large. tract of unimproved land in Cross -street,” which is assessed at $6,500 ‘and upon *which Canfield pays an annual tax of $9 The land comprises. about fifteen acres and was formerly owned by the late Charles Leonard Pendleton, who inherited it from his father, Mr. Pen- dieton was a native of Westerly, re- siding in the house n6w owned by Dr. Michael H. Scanlon, in High street. He subsequently lived in- Providence and died there. Tt is said hereabouts that Mr. Pendleton and Mr. Canfleld were intimate with each other and that at the time of his death Mr. Pen- dleton had not squared accounts with Mr. Canfield and that the transfer of the Westerly property to Mrs. Can- field was the payment of a gambler's. debt. | “All of this may De tru it is_covered up in such a way that no indebtedness of that nature, "Or any other, appears in' the deed of transfer which the ordinary and regular form.
