12 Edison Phonograph Monthly, Nov., 1907 THE SATURDAY EVENING JPCKXT October 26. 1907 The Joys of the Phonograph EDISON has produced in the Phonograph the greatest amuser of modern times. There are so many ways in which the Edison Phonograph can be added to the entertainment of every family that it is almost impossible to describe them in a single advertisement. First, remember that to get the full enjoyment out of it you must be sure that it is the Phonograph and ndt some talking machine. There is only one Phonograph, and that was invented by Mr. Edison and is made under his supervision. Naturally the best form of a sound-producing machine is the one in which the inventor takes a personal interest — not an adaptation of his idea by others. The Edison Phonograph is the only Phonograph — the most perfect instrument for reproducing music, the human voice and other sounds, that has ever been invented. As a scientific toy it educates growing children. As a reproducer of music it brings into the home every form of music, some of which would cost a great deal of money bought in any other way. As a reproducer of language it is •used to teach every foreign language, far better in many respects than a human teacher could do it. But its best use all over this great continent is as an entertainer, amusing in every home crowds of people, young and old, every evening, with its marvelous reproduction of songs, dialogues, instrumental music and every other form of entertainment produced by sound. To get all the fun you can .out of such an instrument you must get the Edison Phonograph, and in order to know how much better £*^^ it is than other talking mtTJuSm machines, you must yk3m$r compare them.
