The World's Tribute
At all international exposi
tions where the Columbia
Graphophone Company exhib
ited its records and instru
ments, Columbia supremacy
received the most brilliant
recognition.
The highest awards at the
Panama-Pacific International
Exposition went to Columbia
Grafanolas a"d Columbia Re
cords for their general superi
ority and educational influ
ence. Grand Prizes at the St. Louis
International Exposition also
went to Columbia instruments
and records; while at Paris in
1900, with every maker of
sound-reproducing instruments
and records represented, tne
world's Grand Prize was unanimously awarded to Columbia
products.
Musically and mechanically, in keenest competition before
the world's foremost scientific authorities, Columbia Grafa
nolas and records have indubitably demonstrated their su
periority. This is the supreme tribute of the world and
there is no higher.
