Facts you should know! Ned can play the new Victor Records on old style Victrolas. But for ideal results they must be played on the new Victor Radio-Electrola, manufactured a the Victor Talking Machine Division. The Victor instruments and Victor Records are made for one -another. And in conjunction, they represent an advance in recorded music which is difficult to believe until you have heard _ them together. With the old style Victrola and acoustical recording, about the lowest musical note you could hear was the middle C of the soprano, the lowest note the usual soprano voice can sing comfortably. Instruments like the double-bass disappeared from orchestras because all were ambitious to make records, and they found it necessary to discard the deep-toned instruments, which would not reproduce fully. Some manufacturers gave up trying to record these instruments. Victor persisted. The Orthophonic principle opened the gates, and we found we could record the lowest, and just as important, the highest tones of music, and reproduce them. The new Victor Radio-Electrola and Victor Records in combination now give you your music with a realism long declared im possible. Victor Radio, alone or with the amazing new Electrola, represents an advance in sound reproduction as radical and as important as any development of the past twenty-five years. Yet wonderful as they are, anyone can afford these instruments. Your Dealer will gladly show and play them to you without obligation. The new Victor Records are so far above anything else, that if you are playing them on any but the modern Victor instrument you are losing a great deal of what you pay for.
