When Edison placed his first phonograph before the people he knew and said something was lacking, thefundamental tones were reproduced butlnot the over tones and tone colors, and to this baffling prob lem of acoustics, he turned his attention. For more than thirty-six years Mr. Edison, with his character istic patience and tenacity of purpose, struggled with difficulties in the way of perfect recording and repro- 11 p sf ml Ml B ili-j-t" maw- -MM 1 1 19 1 19 MEIWm 1 1 H lllllllllllllllllllilll i Htiilllli llllll I II lllllilllll 111 llllllf llllllllillHH I THOS.

This test is simple in the extreme. The NEW EDISON is placed upon the stage; the artist stands beside it. The instrument begins to render one of the singer's own songs. v After a few moments the artist begins to sing the same song with the instrument. Suddenly the singer ceases and the NEW EDISON continues alone. Over 1,500 of these tone tests have been staged. Thirty great stars have made this comparison. Of the more than 2,000,000 people who have been present NOT ONE has been able to detect any difference between artist and instrument. With the lights lowered to hide the singer's lips not one of the 2,000,000 has been able to say when the singer ceased and the instrument con tinued alone. Talking Machine makers claim to perfectly repro duce the singer's voice, but the NEW EDISON is the only instrument that PROVES ITS CLAIMS. With the aid of a simple attachment any steel needle record can be played on the NEW EDISON with better results than on its own instrument. 1918 WB i ing. mmmS LL Edison phonographs now use a GENUINE DIAMOND reproducing point that never wears out and thus does away with all needle chang- Nothing to change on the Edison but the record. Edison records are practi cally indestructible, never wear out and play nearly twice as long as any other record made. Many of the greatest artists in the world now make records exclusively for the NEW EDI SON and new ones are being added almost daily.
