44 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD. A Word to the Talking Machine Men of America ! Presumably you are interested in a product which can be used to advantage by every owner of a disc talking machine record in the world. Of course you have had customers come in and ask you for something with which to clean records. All records get gummy. The grooves which the needle follows get filled with dirt through handling with moist or sticky fingers. Dirt settles therein and the volume of tone is much reduced. Benzine and naphtha have been commonly used, but they are a MENACE in the home — they will IGNITE and EXPLODE without direct contact with fire. Now, Carbona will not only clean your records better, but it has NONE of the objectionable features of DANGEROUS CLEANSERS. It is odorless and it is NON-EXPLOSIVE. You can hold a lighted match to Carbona and it will not ignite. It is the BEST DISC RECORD CLEANER in the world; there is nothing that approaches it. Try it and see! THE CARBONA CO., 3 and 5 Burnett Street, Newark, N. J.
