Extraordinary interest attaches to the recitals of these great
artists because of the double, opportunity they afford the music
loving public. ,
It is a privilege in itself to hear these famous artists, and
added importance is given to the events in that they enable I
you to compare their exquisite interpretations with their Victor
Records. ...
Attend the concerts of these artists and note the individual
qualities that distinguish their wonderful voices. Then go to
any Victor dealer's and hear the Victor Records by the same
artists. Note how faithfully their interpretations are portrayed
on the Victrola.
It is because of this absolute fidelity that these artists make

Very Optimistic
Judge Gary and Other Finan

Readjustment Has Been
Accomplished.
New York, Feb. 14. When bank
ers, manufacturers and business
men generally are optimistic re
garding the business and financial
future, it is right and proper that
Mr. Average Man should also feel
more cheerful.
Big men, leaders of business and
of business thought, have not hesi
tated to talk optimistically.
Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman
of the United States Steel corpora
tion, says:
"In my judgment, there is no dif
ficult situation to pvcrcome. Not
withstanding the most-disagreeable
features of our daily life, of which
we hear or read, we have passed
through or out of them, or nearly
so. We are rapidly, returning to
more normal condition."
Reserve Head Optimistic.
W. P. G. Harding, head of the
national federal- reserve system, also
sees cause for optimism. Mr. Hard
ing says:
"The readjustments which have
taken place in this country, painful
as tlyey have been, have been attend
ed with less privation, less unemploy
ment? and have been less severcMhan
in other countries where the expan
sion of bank credit and currency has
been proportionately greater and the
prospect for revival is also far bet
ter here than elsewhere."

In the copper industry a great

Copper companies recalls .that
