These Features in This Phonograph
are what make the Columbia Grafonola the one incompar-
able instrument for the reproduction of music
The upright tone leaves give the Columbia Grafonola an absolutely ` flexible, exclusive system of tone control,
The scientifically correct construction of the Columbia Grafonola gives it exquisite clearness and purity of tone.
The artistically correct design of their cabinets makes all Columbia Grafonolas harmonize with any furniture.
The individual record ejector facilitating the handling of records is a feature found in Columbia Grafonolas exclusively.
THE Columbia Grafonola is in a
class by itself. Tone is, after all, the test of any phonograph, and tone is a test for the ear alone. It cannot be argued in type. Come in and bear the Columbia tone. Your own ears will quickly tell you that its quality is unequalled.
