He perfects his phonograph to a point where its realism is astounding. Then he determines to ‘make each Edison Phonograph, even the least costly, an attractive piece of furniture. Instead of the usual dentist-like looking cabinet, hi designers have succeeded in putting the charac ter and feeling of the best periods into his pho: nograph cases. These graceful and artistic pro ductions will be hailed with delight by all who can afford them, and will cause Mr. Edison's new Phonograph to be received in many houses where less worthy machines have not been wel. comed heretofore.” ) TR MAKES LITTLE DIFFERENCE WHAT YOU NEED—A WORLD WANy WILL GO GET IT Broadway at Ninth, New York J OHN WANAMAKER : $6,850 Christmas handkerchiefs Nothing is more surely acceptable—as a testimo- nial to substantial thought, an as something which can be put to good use—than at least one pair of stockings.
