NEW ANGELUS MUSIC
EDISON RADIO-PHONOGRAPH.
Hallet & Davis Piano Co. (Angelus Division)
Issues October List of Records for Super-
Reproducing Piano.
Thomas A. Edison, Inc., Orange, N. J., has issued
a folder under the title, "The Voice of the Skies," in
which it says: "In Edison Radio-Phonograph Com-
bination, you find the Edison Electric Amplifying
Phonograph—which means music's re-creation in its
highest development. This phonograph is electrically
driven and is designed to give superlative results on
all makes of records. In a day when the buyer is
confused by the multiplicity of manufacturers and
models, it is highly reassuring to buy a product
backed up by a company whose very name is a guar-
antee of fair dealing, stability and value."
The new October catalog of rolls for the Angelus
Super Reproducing Piano, issued by the Hallet &
Davis Piano Co. (Angelus Division), New York, con-
tains the following:
