THE PORTABLE GRAMOPHONE

Being small, light and compact, the Decen can be taken from place to place as easily as a hand- bag. Yet it has the volume, tone and clear reproduction of gram phones that are almost as Iard to move as a piano.

The Decca is the leader in portables, distinctive in appearance. and in performance is on the same, high level ns present day Cabinet gramophones.
