ERE'S big news for every Columbia Dealer!
The New Portable Columbia Grafonoia—
the instrument you have been waiting for—is
now on the market. The improved, compact,
handsome Portable Grafonola embodies the iden-
tical method of sound reproduction found in the
large, cabinetted Columbia Grafonola, and this
feature now places all other portables on the
defensive.
H
Believing that it is wrong to subordinate the
reproducing qualities of a portable phonograph
for the sake of compactness, we have produced
a highly scientific instrument with all the best
reproduction features of the cabinet model
Grafonola, and yet an instrument that can be
carried as easily as a hand-bag.
Think of what a wonderful selling proposition
this Portable Grafonola offers you for summer
business!
Just the thing for vacation use, for week-end

trips, for summer bungalows, picnics, lawn par-
ties, day trips, porch dancing, beach parties, to
take aboard the motor boat, automobile or
canoe—in fact, it will be found indispensable to
all who like to take music with them wherever
they go.
Being covered with heavy, durable, black
Fabrikoid, reinforced at the corners, this new
Portable Grafonola is a light-weight, handsome
piece of luggage which no one will object to
carrying and which will withstand all sorts of
hard wear.
From every standpoint of beauty, utility,
quality, and volume of reproduction and service-
ability the New Portable Grafonola is beyond
doubt superior in every respect to anything
of its kind on the market, and as a musical
instrument is something on which you can
go the limit in pushing, knowing full well that
it will give complete satisfaction.
