“You Can Get Any Book on Any Subject”

We do with Talking Machines what Ford did with Autos

YOU ASK WHY THIS
BEAUTIFUL, LARGE SIZE
TALKING MACHINE
SELLS FOR ONLY
$10

Size 15¾ inches at base: 8½ high. Ask for oak or mahogany finish.
Nickel plated, reversible, tonearm and reproducer, playing
Edison, Victor, Columbia and other disc records, 10 and 12
inches. Worm gear motor. Threaded winding shaft. Plays 2 ten-inch
records with one winding—Tone controlling door. Neat and solidly
made.

If you have never been willing to spend $25 for a talking machine
this is your chance.

The MUSIGRAPH is as large, good-looking, right-sounding as
machines selling for $25.

How do we do it? Here’s the answer: Gigantic profits have been
made from $25 machines because of patent right monopoly. Millions
have gone for advertising $25 machines, and these millions came
back from the public. The attempt is to make $25 the standard
price. It’s too much.

The trust price game is broken. Here is a machine which gives
perfect satisfaction (guaranteed) for only $10. It will fill your
home with dancing, good music, fun and happiness. Money back if
it isn’t as represented. MUSIGRAPHS are selling by the thousands.
People who can afford it buy showy autos, but common-sense people
gladly ride Fords—both get over the ground. Same way with talking
machines, only the MUSIGRAPH looks and works like the high-priced
instruments.

WHAT BETTER CHRISTMAS GIFT CAN YOU THINK OF? Musigraphs play any
standard disc record, high-priced or even the little five and ten
cent records. Hurry your order to make sure of Christmas
delivery.

We are advertising these big bargain machines through our
customers—one MUSIGRAPH in use sells a dozen more.

One cash payment is our plan. So to-day, to insure Christmas
delivery, send $10, by P. O. money order, check, draft, express
order or postage stamps. All we ask is that you tell your
neighbors how to get a MUSIGRAPH for only $10.

GUARANTEE.

This machine is as represented, both as to materials and
workmanship, for a period of one year. If the MUSIGRAPH is not as
represented send it back immediately and

Get your money back.
