The phonoscope (Nov 1896-Dec 1899)

2 THE PHONOSCOPE January, 1898 HE farthest advance made in the art of recording and reproducing sound is represented in the Graphophone. It has been made remarkably simple in its mechanism and easy in its operation, and at the same time its efficiency as a recording and reproducing machine has been increased. It is the simplicity and perfection attained in the Graphophone that has so greatly stimulated the public interest in talking machines. These are facts that dealers should note. The Graphophone is simple, easily operated, durable in construction, comparatively low in price and perfect in its production of speech, song or music. These are the points that sell it and that have made it necessary to vastly increase factory facilities in order to meet the demand.

A Coin-Slot Graphophone that runs with a clockwork motor can be set up in any place and be ready to receive nickels and produce music is sold for $50. The price of a Coin-Slot Graphophone in small cabinet with electric motor is $65, and the price of the same machine in a large cabinet is $100.

The Graphophone has been found to be a most satisfactory machine for exhibitors to handle. Outfits are arranged especially to suit the needs of the exhibitor. When a lagre amplifying horn is used the reproductions of music are loud enough to fill large exhibition halls.
