Victor RECORDS ‘Tats record catalog is the first complete catalog of its records which has been issued by the Victor Company since the remarkable scientific discoveries which have led to the production of the New Victor Records (Orthophonic Recording) W ane we today are using only electrical ptocesses in recording music, we have retained in this catalog, from earlier issues, a great many records made by the old method of pure acoustics, including all of the Red Seal Records in the last issue of the catalog. These older records have continued in favor with our millions of friends, who will not permit us to banish them into the past. Certain records—those of Caruso for instance, made by the old process, are monuments in the history of music and they cannot be replaced. In order to distinguish the new recordings from the old, each New Victor Record made by the Orthophonic process is marked in the catalog with a star. * It will be seen that the catalog is arranged alphabetically; and it will interest you to know that the idea of a strictly alphabetical catalog originated with the Victor Company. The catalog has no index. It does not need one, for it is all index. Every number will be found in its proper alphabetical place, Ma) tts eee ee eee
