As he drank from the vessels of

This was evidence of his lack of

What
Gifts Open Hearts A Full Home Circle But, Above All, MUSIC
It's as universal as happiness, as old as Christmas, as
essentially part of the day as the old-time carols minstrels used to sing.
Make Music your gift this Christmas. Let Christmas
Eve open before you a whole dazzling NEW world of music let
the Pathe and the Pathe library of records bring the phone musical
art of the world to your hearthside.
The Pathephone is the "Gift Greatest" indeed: it
brings you all the riches of music the music of America and the
music of Europe ; the music recorded on the Pathe discs and the
music recorded on the others. It is a more complete, more artistic,
perfed instrument made in America, but retaining the impress of
French genius and France's art.

The Pathe Is Different
visibly different faun any phonograph that you have known.
Different in cause, different in result; different in TONE and in
the means of producing that tone. It is the only phonograph
equipped with the
Pathe Sapphire Ball
that glides over the sould grooves, that cannot scratch the record,
that produces a TONE of matchless, lovely smoothness. This
jewel is a permanent part of the soundbox, so there are
No Needles to Change
which means undisturbed enjoyment, no needle expense, no lack
of music because the ne, dies have run out. And you can play the
Pathephone even in the dark (& pleasure impossible with needle
played machines; because the smooth, polished surface of the
Pathe Sapphire Bail CANNOT in any way injure the record.
