We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

The conversion of this latter class of people is the highest praise that can be spoken of the New Moulded Records; for when a man has formed an opinion that the Phonograph is not a musical instrument, he is a Hard One to convince to the con- trary. The Moulded Records make an entirely new instrument out of the Phonograph. Many people’s sole ideas of the Phonograph have been formed by listening to the average music in the average Waiting Room. That was a year ago, two years ago, five years ago. Doubtless there are people who have never seen an ocean steamship and who imagine that it looks like a Noah’s Ark. For such people it is a duty to in- vestigate.
