THE RECORD OF QUALITY.
The "OKES" has come to stay. That's a fact. Get acquainted with it to the strains of the latest musical master-pieces as rendered by the world's greatest artists or to the strains of the latest Fox Trots and Waltzes as played by America's leading orchestras and bands. Do not forget that the" OKEH "is original and refited and that it pleases and satisfies. So says everybody who has heard it and there can be no better recommendation than this.
Haven't you got a Talking Machine? Then let us Dame for you' your own requirements in selecting. a Phonograph. It must be a musical instrument first and it must have faultless tone-clear, roand, true. It must be not only pleasing in design but correct. Its proportions must be exact, its wood and metal perfect, its workmanship beyong criticism; and, more than ever before, its price must be reasonable. We have such an instrument in the * STRAND " CONSOLE-worthy of the place of honour in any room of any home. Let us demonstrate it to you. You must see the STRAND" and hear it to appreciate what has become possible in 1923.
