Contract the Original Edison with the
Diamond Phonograph shown here

In its day the firsY Edison was a wonder, though it
reproduced the human voice with but a fair degree
of accuracy. Today the "New Edison" Diamond
Phonograph is as Great A Wonder because it
ABSOLUTELY MATCHES EVERY

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-

duction of music until in the year 1913,
his labors were rewarded with success
and he turned to the world and said,
"here is the NEW EDISON a sound re
producing instrument that is perfect,
one that absolutely RE-CREATES the
actual living tones of singer or instru
ment" and to prove his statement in
augurated the "Tone Test."
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.

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

added almost daily.
