New Edison Tho Phongraph with a Soul When you buy s phonograph insist on one in Period design. All Edison machines are of Period design. The furniture that you buy from now on will be in some Period. Why not have the phonograph to match? A WORD ABOUT PRICES In 1914, as you can ascertain through practically any investment banker, the Edison Laboratories were selling phonographs on a narrower margin of profit than the other manufacturers. Since 1914, the price of the New Edison has advanced less than 15 per cent —and a portion of this is war tax. “Edison stood the gaff” to keep his favorite invention within the reach of everyone. W.
