16 THE PHONOSCOPE THE "HOME GRAND" GRAPHOPHONE A Wonderful Talking Machine of the Genuine Grand Type for $100 Not an Imitation the Real Thing I but Reproduces the same records as the Graphophone Grand with the same marvelous effects To meet a demand for a Grarjhonlione of less expensive construction tnan the GraEhorjhone Grand, "but embodying1 the same principles, a new form of GranhoiDhone has "been designed, known as The "Home Grand," Price, $100. ^The farthest step forward ever made in the talking machine art, crossing the threshold of a new world of possibilities, was the discovery, in our laboratory, of the principles applied in the construction of the Graphophone Grand, which, when first publicly exhibited seven months ago, made a tremendous sensation by its marvelously loud and perfect reproductions of sound. Scientists hailed this achievement as a great discovery, for it swept aside the limits that had barred the way to absolutely perfect sound-reproduction. These principles are now applied with equal success in the production of the new "HOME GRAND" which is a machine of the genuine "Grand" type and not an imitation. The "Home Grand" with Columbia Grand records brings, in audible effect, the living singer or musician actually into the presence of the listener. Reproduces music, song or speech as loud and louder than the original, with all the original sweetness and melody. The real music ; the actual voice ; not a diminished copy or a "far away" effect. The "Home Grand" is handsome and durable in construction and simple in operation. It is provided with a tandem-spring motor that will run several Grand records at one winding. No diking machine, except the Graphophone Grand, will compare with the new machine in point of volume or smoothness of tone.
