We have purchased a number of toy kinetoscopes, being the first lot of a number of hundred thousand that will shortly be put on £h> market. This little device consists of a small box 7 inches wide and 9 inches in height, which contains a simple mechanism which is set in motion by turning a crank which protrudes on outside of the box. The "film" consists of a tape to which a number of photographs are attached in such a way as to rapidly bring each one into place and give it a momentary pause as it passes the point of vew— a small aperture in the box. This toy gives almost the same results as the machines costing hundreds of dollars. Its simplicity is truly wonderful. We can furnish a limited number of these kinetoscopes to our friends for $1 each. The Phonoscope Publishing Co. prank J)# fhayer, WATERLOO, IOWA.

I would like to call attention to the fact that I am making my own records, and can guarantee each one first-class in every respect, loud, and each word distinct, and also without that disagreeable noise found in duplicate records. My records are of the highest grade only, unequaled for brilliancy, loudness and genera! excellence. My repertoire is larger than that of any other American singer. I have been with the best theatrical companies ever seen in this country, and my reputation as a singer is well known. I have also made phonograph singing a special study, and am now ready to furnish the best records of all the latest and most popular, descriptive, sentimental, sacred and comic songs. THE PRICE OF ALL MY RECORDS are $1 each, or $10 per dozen. * * * * Special inducements offered to purchasers buying in lots of fifty or more. Terms invariably cash. C. O.
