A Different Orchestra for Every Dance Is Possible Only on the Victrola

Even the finest hotels in the world don't have more than one or two orchestras, but with a Victrola you can hear all the finest orchestras and artists right at home.. You dance, not to one orchestra but to the music of a score,a different one for every dance. You hear, not one concert artist, but a differ- ent one for every number on the program, just as you please.

That's the way it goes with all the enter tainment upon Victor Records, there's so much of it, and it's all so good! Nothing can touch it! Sooner or later you will ask us to deliver one of our fine Victrola instruments to your home. Why not soonerand later!
