with the instrument, but right there is danger, for,
if no new records are had everybody will soon get
tired of the same selections and vote a phonograph
a nuisance and out of date. Remember that some
one has very truly said: "Your phonograph is as
new and as interesting as your newest records."
So, then, if phonograph owners want to cash in
on your dividends of happiness on the investment
in a phonograph, new records must be bought often.
Choose records in groups of five or six at a time.
One new record at a time is soon played to death.
By buying several at a time, the interest is divided
and maintained and the whole family enjoy it. No
one would go to the same concert every night—
why play the same records every night?
Record catalogues and monthly lists are free for
the asking. Use the catalogue and make up a weekly
list of the records.
HOW TO BUY RECORDS
Some Lines by Which Dealers May Add to Their
Sales.
There are thousands of new phonograph owners
who are confronted with the problem of choosing
new records. The dealers are often asked how to
make selections. Here are a few words of advice
and suggestion which may help.
Tn the first place, all phonograph owners must
remember that it's the records which make the
music. Without records the talking machine will
make about as much music as your refrigerator or
your sideboard. Of course, a supply of records went

"FAIRY" Phonograph Lamp
NEW "MARIK" PHONOGRAPH.
The Win. Marik Mfg. Co. of Sturgeon Bay, Wis.,
an old established woodworking concern of north-
eastern Wisconsin, has been developing a phono-
graph for the past year and has now begun manu-
facture upon a quantity scale. For the present the
output will be marketed direct to the retail trade,
largely in eastern Wisconsin, but eventually it is
intended to establish outlets through the jobbing
trade. The new "Marik" phonograph is made in all
the processes from raw lumber to the finished ma-
chine ready for the home. For several years the
factory has been making cabinets for other manu-
facturers.

SEARCHES FOR VANISHED VOICE
Son of Jessie Bartlett Davis Seeks Records of
Mother's Singing.
Will J. Davis, Jr., of Chicago, is searching for
"the voice that is still," the voice of his mother, Jes-
sie Bartlett Davis, who sang some of her most beau-
tiful songs into the phonograph twenty-five years
ago.
"Since I made my appeal for the old records," he
said today, "I have received a number of letters that
look promising. Friends are searching their attics
for them, End I feel sure a few will be found. I am
willing to pay almost any price within reason for
them.
"I once had all my mother's records—'Genevieve,'
'O, Promise Me,' 'Robin Hood' and others, but after
her death I felt as if I couldn't listen to them again,
and so I threw them into the furnace.
"Now I have four children of my own, all musi-
cally inclined, and I would like them to know the
sound of their grandmother's voice. The records
