2 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD. OUR MAIL BAG for many years has brought out the fact beyond the question of a doubt that our friends and customers want us to put on the market A TALKING MACHINE. WE HAVE DECIDED TO DO SO and now present for your consideration a machine with a new and improved method — a decided advance over all other known machines. It has been designed so that it will prolong the record life by sustaining with its own mechanism the weight of the diaphragm and arm: a mechanical feed device beautiful in its simplicity, ingenious, new, practical, feeds the arm across the record, and being absolutely independent thereof, all the record has to do is to play, sing, in a word breathe music : we have relieved the record of its hard work. It is no longer a common carrier of diapKragm and macKine parts. THE WORK OF THE CRANE is done in this invention by other means.

Second: the lasting quality of the Imperial lies in the fact that it is made of the best material-^the Imperial can be played many times, yes many, many times without deterioration — we prove this every day.
