88 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD September 15, 1919 Improvements in Phonographs Were Inevitable TT has Xx udo iong been understood that the ultimate in phonographs had not been reached. Needle scratch, imperfect reproduction, distortion of sound waves and inability to exactly reproduce the tonal timbre of such instruments as the piano have been obstinate limitations. Forest Cheney, musician, and inventor, determined that if the funda' mental principles of the violin and pipe organ could be adapted to the phonograph that it would be a vast improvement. He succeeded! The Cheney Phonograph is the wonderful result of his experiments. The principles upon which it is based are covered by basic patents. You have never heard phonograph tones so marvelously pure and sweet. Many of the most discriminating dealers in the country now sell the Cheney from their floors. The agency for the Cheney in a community has become a prized possession. Cheney Talking Machine Company 831 Marshall Field Annex Building 24 North Wabash Avenue Chicago, Illinois
