For Dancing
T 7ERE is an instrument that is unequalled for providing music for an informal dance in your
JL J. home. It plays with zest, snap and spirit that is irresistibly contagious. You know how

with all sorts of unexpected little runs and unusual effects. There is nothing mechanical about it;
it is as full of life as the players themselves. You can have it repeat your favorite pieces indefi-

popular and merry, for you can give your guests the very newest dance hits, played especially
for dancing." There are many other strong reasons for purchasing
