Victor-Victrola
A musical and commercial
triumph combined.
The Victor - Victrola
is not only universally
recognized as the great-
est musical instrument
in the world, but as the
greatest commercial suc-
cess in the musical in-
strument industry.
In attaining the com-
manding position it oc-
cupies today, the Victor-
Victrola has uplifted
with it the entire music
trade to a new plane of
dignity and brought to
it a new era of prosper-
ity.
And when the Victor-
Victrola has accom-
plished all this in a com-
paratively few years, it
is certain that still greater
things are in store for
every Victor dealer in
the years to come.
