OME of your friends must have been in the
'hugh audience which heard Odette Le Fontenay
in her Tone-Test recital at Methodist Chuch. Ask
these people about it. This is the astonishing
discovery made. ,
The keenest musical ear can not distinguish
any difference between the voice of the living
artist and tho RE-CREATION of that voice by
the New Edison.
And does it not amaze you, too, that Mr. Edison
has succeeded in producing an instrument that
captures every subtle sweetness of the human
voice that gives you all the ear can give you of
the art of the world's great artist. No other
phonograph dares to make this direct comparison.
The NEW EDISON
"The Phonograph With a Soul.'
The New Edison alone can RE-CREATE music
lor you. Come in and hear it, for yourself. Make
the great discovery for yourself.
HARRY DIXON, Jeweler.
Tho instrument used in Friday's Tone-Test is the regular model which sells
for $285 (in Canada $431). It is an exact duplicate of tho Laboratory Model
which Mr. Edison perfected after spending Threo Million Dollars in experiments.
