How the Victor Trade-Mark Is Used in New

Probably there has been no illustration which
has been used in connection with a special trade
product which has been used in caricature so fre-
quently as "His Master's Voice." All this, of
course, has meant good advertising for the Vic-
tor Talking Machine Co., because every one im-

ing machine product. The illustration, which
appears herewith, is a reduction from a large
caricature which appeared in the New York
"World" recently, and illustrates how "His Mas-
ter's Voice" is being used in the present city po-
litical campaign. Of course, George B. McClellan
will not view this illustration with favor, but
nevertheless it is one of the hits of the cam-
paign.
VISITORS TO NEW YORK.
Among (he visitors in New York this week
were A. D. Bulen, Meadville, Pa., here buying
stock and looking over the market to strengthen
all departments of his store, as he handles every
thing from pianos to sheel music, and is a pretty
live man. He left for home Wednesday. Charles
A. Bobzen, manager of the Oliver Ditson Co.'s
small goods department, who has been West on
a tour of general inspection, passed through New
York this week en route home to Boston.
HERE, are many claims made for various pianos, but when we come
right down to facts, just compare the Davenport C& Treacy piano
with any other which may be in your warerooms.
We believe that then you will not wonder why pianos bearing
this brand have won such widespread approval from dealers who
appreciate splendid piano values. The
Davenport & Treacy
piano is built as good as we know how to build it, and we have
had an experience in this industry covering a long period of years.
Go over the Davenport OD. Treacy piano carefully, notice thej atten-
tion given to all detail worK, listen x tc> its wonderful tone and you
will not wonder why the dealers who have sold the Davenport (£l
Treacy instruments are so enthusiastic in their praise.
