IX THE WESER SHOWROOMS.
The Marveola is an invention by which from one
to six standard records of eight, ten or twelve inch
.size can be played in succession, the "Marveola"
automatically shifting them under the reproducing
point, and pausing, if desired, for an interval be-
tween each rendition. Not only will the "Mar-
veola" successfully perform this feat, but it starts
with the pressing of a button placed at any dis-
tance from the machine, and this control button
not only starts the "Marveola" but will stop or
discharge any particular selection at any time, and
will repeat any record or part of any record at will,
the mechanism shifting to the next record auto-
matically, or at the will of the operator.

This wonderful development of the phonograph
is the invention of the late John A. Weser, who de-
voted a lifetime to the study, manufacture and im-
provement of musical instruments. The name
"Marveola" was selected because its performance
is almost human; in its playing and handling of
records the "Marveola" seems to operate with
actual intelligence.
