What pried" sliall we pay
for our phonograph?
Don't try to answer that at home. Come here. Look at one
model after another until you have seen the entire line. They
are all exhibited for your inspection. They'll he played for you.
Listen to the $18 Grafonola. Listen to the $250 cabinet instru

the question, "What price shall we pay for our phonograph?"
Your visit here will be a welcome one. It is a Columbia policy
to make such shopping 03 pleasant as intelligence and sympathy
