Why Does the Victrola Have
Changeable Needles?
That is a question frequently asked
sad the answer is:
Because a changeable needle with a
perfect point is absolutely necessary to
properly play any record;
Because a changeable needle is the
only system that positively guarantees
a per/eot poiut for playing every rec
ord;
Because a changeable needle adapts
the different selections to the require*
ments of various rooms, and to meet
the tastes of discriminating people;
Because a changeable needle enables
you to hear every record just as you
waut to hear it. October new Records
are now ready. Call and hear them.
