graph is the thought Lyon & Healy, Wabash & Jack-
son, Chicago, have exemplified in a unique window
display this week, featuring the Brunswick and Vic-
tor portable phonographs.
In order to satisfy the most particular customer a
wide variety in price and style is shown in such man-
ner as to create a desire on the part of those who are
contemplating a vacation in the woods, a fishing trip,
picnics or other forms of outdoor sport in which good
phonograph music would add to the pleasure of the
individual or party.
The portable phonograph is set in a leather case
and is complete, having a place to carry records
safely and two metal containers for new and used
needles. It is also waterproof and will stand the
rough usage of a long trip.
