Mr. Edison is a crank on perfection, and anything he produces must be
much higher than ordinary standards. He experimented for quarter of a cen
tury with the Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph before he said it was "good,"
yet musical critics throughout say that nothing like "The Edison" has ever
been heard before, for Mr. Edison has at last made possible the RE-CREATION
OF MUSIC.
We invite every lover of music, whether you own an "Edison Diamond
Disc" or not to come in and hear this wonderful musical instrument. Notice
Tiow the "Edison'' brings out all those fine shades and overtones that until
now, have been lost in reproduction. Notice how the individually of the artist
or musician is actually re-created without a blemish.
