We borrowed it and applied it to the purchase of the New Edison. - Come in. Find out how this good, old "thrift" idea solves the prob lem of your New Edison. We adopted the Budget Plan to please two people, Thomas A: Edison and You: Edison's great hobby is music. He holds that good music is a ne cessity in the home. But access to the great operas and concerts has been confined to the FEW. Edison thought of the MANY, and spent 3 million dol lars in research work to develop the NewEdison, "the phonograph with a soul." Edison's new phonograph Re creates the great voices and in strumental art of the world with such perfect realism that human ear cannot distinguish Re Crea ted art from livingart, even when the two are heard in direct com parison. . Edison set free a necessity that had been a luxury for years. . We are working with Mr. Edi son, and have adopted the Bud get Plan in accord with his wishes. The Budget Plan is a way for you to get your New Edison now. It doesn't increase your house hold expenses, it simply dis tributes your monthly pleasure in a different way. It gets you more for your money. Come in and see us. Tell us how you would like to plan your New Edi son budget. The Variety Store I. VLI . I Jk 1.1 tCI.
