1-The idea of letter golf is to change one word to another and do it in par, a given num- ier of stroke. Thus to.chunge COW TO HIEN, in three strokes, COW, HOW, HEW, HEN..
2-You can change only one letter at a time.
3-You must have a complete- word, of common usage, for cach jump. Slang words and abbreviations' don't count.
4 The order of letters can- not be changed.

The DECCA has now an International reputation. Its devotees number hundreds of thousands, and are to be found in all Countries of the World. There is no other gramophone like the Decca. When it is open, you can recognise it at a glance. But when it is closed you carry it with out others being aware it is a gramophone. Playing, there is distinctiveness again. The Decca tone is full, free and entirely natural. Large and expensive Cabinet gramophones may have auch a tone, but no "portable" other than the Decca.
