The Brunswick Plays
ALL Records
UNLESS you choose The, Brunswick as your
family's phonograph, you limit their selec
tion of records.
Each member of your family has personal pref
erences. Each likes certain singers, certain bands,
certain orchestras, certain instrumental features.
'A one-record phonograph cannot satisfy all
these preferences because the different record
makers control different artists.
So only The Brunswick brings to your family
complete enjoyment. It plays any record, what
ever make. "Plays them better," say many musi
cal critics.
Includes Pathe Discs
This alUrecord feature
means that you may now
enjoy Pathe Discs. Here
tofore these wonderful rec
ords have been barred
from many homo because
other instruments could
not play them.
With The Brunswick
comes a reproducer for
Pathe Discs. So this
brings you Muratore and
other famous artists whom
you would otherwise be
compelled to miss. Pathe
offers ffie largest musical
collection the world has
ever known. Not only the
favorites of America, but
those of Europe. Pathe,
as you know, is the leader
in Europe.
Until 3'ou've heard Pathe
records, you will never
know what you have
missed. They arc repro
duced at their best on The
Brunswick.
An all-wood sound
chamber, built like a vio
lin, gives The Brunswick
incomparable tone: No
metal is used, so there is
an absence of metallic
sounds.
To really appreciate the
excellence of The Bruns
wick tone, you must hear
this remarkable instru
ment and compare it.
Have Your Favorite Records Played
Before you buy a phonograph, hear Tlie Bruns
wick first. Or, even if you already have an instru
ment, you should know this latest improvement.
The Brunswick prices range from
$32.50 to $180 Easy Terms
