A Portable of Distinction
I
N T O the Columbia Portable Grafonola have been
built the requirements of the finest musical instru-
ment. Sturdy and compact in form, it has still all the
best reproduction features of the cabinet Grafonola.
From the sound chamber in the upper lid, regulated by
adjustable tone leaves, there is produced a volume of
tone which will surprise you. And the scientific per-
fection of its construction loses nothing of the sweetness
and purity.
Here is an instrument that is always ready to play.
Every part has been cleverly fitted into this small
cabinet in the most convenient position. Lift the lid,
insert the winding crank and everything is ready. The
Columbia Portable will find a place of usefulness in
every home. The young folks can move it to the porch
for summer evenings of dancing and the children can
make it their own. Its sturdy construction is made to
withstand the hardest usage.
For vacation time it is an ideal partner—an asset to every
outing. Music out of doors—on the river—at the summer
camps—on lawn parties—picnics—what a sales vista this
opens up among your customers.
Into the Columbia Portable Grafonola go only the finest
selected materials and careful workmanship. You will be
pleased at the perfection of detail of this instrument. Metal
tops fit tightly over the needle cups when the cabinet is closed,
and every part fits snugly for a journey. The handle of the
case has been given a perfect adjustment, which makes carry-
ing easy. You will not find such a list of sales features em-
bodied in any other portable.
You can make many summer sales with this instrument
that you can make in no other way. Put it on display in your
windows and its appearance alone" will produce inquiries.
Demonstrate its compactness, its lightness, its perfect musical
qualities, and sales will follow.
