Frans: Schubert YOUR FIRST SYMPHONY WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU

A shy, retiring Viennese of the lower class—dogged throughout his short life by ill-health and pinching poverty — Franz Schubert achieved his first and only triumph just a few weeks before he died.

Before he was thirteen. years old he had written mu"sic, but it was at that age that musical composition became his whole life—his one all-embracing interest.

His glorious works will live as long as time endures — an imperishable’ monument to a great genius who sacrificed -all for his art—a “master craftsman’ of musi-

You can come for, or send for your first symphony at 9 a. m. on Thursday morning. Distribution Head-

quarters are located at 245 North Pennsylvania Street, across the street from the Post Office.

At an incredibly small price—less than you would expect to pay for a single symphonic record, you can get an entire symphony, three double-faced, 12-inch records, six recordings in all, FRANZ SCHUBERT'S WONDERFUL SYMPHONY NO. 8 IN B MINOR. Here is a symphony that would ordinarily cost you from six to eight dollars. You can get it for a mere one dollar and fifty-nine cents. The reason you: can have this valuable symphony at such an incredibly small cost is that the world’s greatest orchestras and conductors and America’s foremost manufacturers of musical instruments and records have waived all their profits and royalties in order that the largest possible number

of American families might learn to love good music..

The entire idea of this tremendous campaign for good music is to persuade you to open your heart to good music, to take these valuable records into your home at a tiny fraction of their real worth, to induce you to play them, and in playing them, to learn to love them.

The only requisite is that you hear the music often enough. The reason that these valuable records are priced so low is because the world’s great orchestras, conductors, and music educators want to persuade you to give good music a fair chance. Take it into your home. Hear these records once, twice, a dozen times, a hundred times. Hear this music that has lived through the centuries. - Hear it again and again until it takes possession of you, until it wins its way into your heart and soul, forever to make your life brighter, more hopeful, more delightful than you have ever known before.

When you bring this wonderful music into your home, you are adding more than music to your home. You are adding a brand new, exciting, stimulating interest in life. The more you play this music, the more you will find that it is developing in you yourself something that you have never known before. Of all the precious things that you could acquire, here and now you have found -the ultimate—the new, magnificent, all-powerful, all-inspiring world of good music, a world that will grow ever and ever more important and more
