L'repnring for Private Control.
The corporate managers of the rail
roads are proceeding to reorganize
their forces so that operation of their
properties when the president returns
them to 'privae control may bo reas
sumed . with a minimum ,of friction and
lost motion. Many new president?
havo been elected and many old pres
idents nnd other officers who entered
government service during the war
havo been reappointed and reelected
to their pre-war posts. That there will
be many slmlar preparations Is gen
erally expected. There Is also a gen
eral feeling that when the roads are
turned back they will go into the
hands from which thoy wore lifted by
tho president at tho close of 1917.

It is our pleasure to announce Brunswick Records, another
Super-product by the "House of Brunswick" artistic compan
ions of Brunswick Phonographs.
They are made under the direction of great interpreters:---men
who have the power and faculty of developing musical se
lections as the composer would have them played.
Just as there are directors for the opera, the stage, the
orchestra, we now have directors for records.
This means that each Brunswick Record is not only the
work of some accomplished artist but is accompanied by the
shadings of renowned director.
This is why Brunswick Records rise above the qualities
most records have in common.
