fimilar economies provide the balance. It's a
systematic thrift idea.
Why throw your money into the air on the
Fourth ? Isn't it a finer patriotism, a bigger
family policy, to spend it on music good music?
What's n Fourth without music?
The thrill in those grand, old airs of the Repub
lic ! The exultation ! The memories ! The
ringing pledge!
All thete and more have been given life by the
oaring art and the fervid hearts of great artists !
All these and more are Re-Created for you by
the marvelous realism of the New Edison.
The perfect realism of the New Edison was
proved again in an astonishing test made March
lo, 1920, at Carnegie Hall, New York City.
Anna Case, world-famed soprano, matched her
voice directly against its Re-Creation by the New
Edison. During the test, the lights went out.
The audience, in the darkness, could not tell
whether Anna Case was singing or whetherthe
New Edison was Re-Creating her voice.
You can experience the New Edison's supreme
realism for yourself. Come in and let us give
you Mr. Edison's Realism Test.

Instead of n third party this sonson

among American personalities is tho

nor is tho man. Thero Is enough dis
satisfaction with old parties and old
politicians to make tho raw material
for a formidable third party move
ment. Hut the dissatisfaction is un
organized and diverse. Nothing short
of a crisis could heat tho mass to the
fusing point. Tho crisis Isn't likely
to come this year, In that ovent, tho
now party people cannot expect to
get far. If tho old party managers
