A marvel of mechanical perfection
HE New Columbia Motor,
shown above, is a marvel of
mechanical perfection.
T
Other valuable, exclusive features
are the brand new Automatic Start
and Non-Set Automatic Stop.
It runs with absolute regularity
and accuracy. I t is made of finest
steel. Its bearings are entirely of
bronze and brass. I ts gears are
beveled and machined so that gear
meets gear without a whisper. Its
action is regular as the swinging
of a pendulum and quiet as the
ticking of a finely jeweled watch.
The motor leaps into action the
moment the tone-arm is moved over
to place the needle on the record.
The record stops revolving when
the music stops, no matter what the
make or length of the record. There
is absolutely nothing to adjust. In
ten thousand times, by actual test,
Lubrication, the life of every
motor, is provided regularly and
efficiently by a clever system of
tubed wicks leading from a
readily accessible, central oil­
well to the five main points of
wear.
In practical convenience, sturdy
durability and sales-compelling effi­
ciency, the New Columbia Motor is
without a parallel in the his­
tory of the phonograph. It
marks the arrival of another
new epoch.
it has never failed to operate.

stands supreme

In
fidelity of tone and
performance
E
VERY phonograph sold is finally
selected because of its purity of
tone, its beauty of appearance, or its
refinement of performance.
And the New Columbia Phono­
graph stands supreme in all these
sales-making essentials.
To see the New Columbia is to
'appreciate at once its rare beauty as
a piece of fine furniture. To hear it
is to experience a revelation in fidel­
ity of tone reproduction. To operate
the New Columbia is to marvel at the
completeness of its mechanical per­
fection.
Study carefully the detailed de­
scriptions of the New Columbia
Motor and the New Columbia Re­
producer, which you will find illus­
trated on these pages!
Beginning this month, we will pre­
sent the New Columbia to the public
in one of the most dominating and
compelling series of full-page news­
paper advertisements ever conceived.
Music lovers will be eager to hear
and eager to buy this New Columbia
-the most perfect phonograph ever
built. You will want to be the dealer
to cash in on this tremendous drive!
The New Columbia Reproducer has
eliminated those things that the crit­
ical ear didn't like in a phonograph.
It faithfully reproduces all ranges
of both vocal and instrumental tones.
It is absolutely true to interna­
tional pitch.
It gives a more refined, mellow and
resonant quality of tone.
Its patented, exclusively Columbia,
spring "shock absorbers" take up ex­
cessive vibration and banish blast.
