There is more profit and
less capital invested in
selling Victor Talking Ma-
chines than Pianos.
This was heresy years
ago, but is the fact of to-

has given pianos and the

prominence will tell you
that this is so.
There is certainly more
money in Victor Records
than in sheet music.
We are spending hun-
dreds of thousands of dol-
lars telling people in your
town about the Victor.
All you've got to do is
to sell the Victor and let
your neighbors know it.
