This test of direct compari
son was made by Anna Case,
world-famous soprano, be
' fore 2500 people, at Car
negie Hall, New York City,
on March 10, 1920. See
the three diagram sketches
below:
Mies Case stood betide the
' New Edison end tang.
Suddenly ?
the llghte went out, but Mtse
Case's voice went smoothly on.
Thmn ?
the lights went on again. Miss
Case was gone. The audience
gasped with surprise to find
that her voice had been Com
ing from the New Edison.

We want you to see it, listen to it,
test it for yourself. This marvelous
phonograph can give the family more
pleasure than any other instrument
you can buy them for Christmas.
Here is why :
This phonograph has actually proved
that it can match the performance of
the living artist,? and match it so
perfectly that no one can tell its Rk
Ck ration from the living performance.
i
It did this on March 10, 1920 before
2500 people at Carnegie Hall. New
York City with Anna Case, the world
famed soprano. It did this on Sep
tember 30th, 1919, before 2500 people
at Carnegie Hall, Pittsburgh? with
Marie Rappold, prima donna of the
Metropolitan Opera Company. It
did this on November 5th, 1919,
before 6500 teachers at the State
Armory, Albany with Mario Lau
renti of the Metropolitan Opera
Company. It did this over 4000
other times, with more than -fifty
great vocalists and instrumentalists.
You can read the facts of these
amazing achievements in the leading
newspapers of the United States and
Canada. They are the talk of the
music and scientific world.
And the phonograph? It's the Official
Laboratory Model of the New
Edison, "the phonograph with a
soul." Every Official Laboratory
Model in oar store is an exact dupli
cate of the famous original Official
Laboratory Model which cost Mr.
Edison three million dollars to per
fect. It is capable of sustaining the
test or direct comparison; we guar
antee this.
Get an Official Laboratory Model
for Christmas. You will have the
one phonograph which brings you
the living performances of great ar
tists exactly as those artists have
given them. You know this is so!
The proof has been givenl The ab
solute, scientific proof!
Say the word, ? and we'll save an
Official Laboratory Model for you,
and deliver it in time for Christmas.

You'll be able to recognize its superiority
with your own ears ? in every kind of vocal
and instrumental music. Come in and
