RECORDS
A Word About Gold-Moulded R.ecords
Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records were the first Moulded Records on the market by
about a year.
They always have been GOLD-moulded. A gold mould is the ONLY economical and efficient
mould known to the art.
Moulded records are superior to the old engraved records, because they may be made of
HARDER material. Hard records last longer and have a better quality of tone.
A gold-moulded record made of SOFT material would be no better in quality than an
ENGRAVED record in soft material.
The best Moulded Records are not only GOLD-MOULDED; they are SUPER-HARDENED.
Gold-moulded records are LESS expensive than engraved records. The PROCESS is simpler.
Formerly, BLANK cylinders were moulded, then SHAVED, then ENGRAVED from an original. The
originals soon wore out under the reproducing stylus.
Now, a gold-lined MOULD is made from the original, and the product of that mould is a
SMOOTHLY FINISHED cylinder, with the SOUND RECORD ALREADY ON IT. The life of the original is
increased ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times.
A record is not MORE expensive because it is gold-moulded.
It is LESS expensive.
Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records are NEW records, made by a NEW process. They are
not only gold-moulded. They are SUPER-HARDENED.
Irrespective of PRICE, they are superior in QUALITY to any other gold-moulded record on
the market.
