VALUE
kb
is a much-abused word, especially in some of the recent
uses as applied to
JEWELRY
Webster's Dictionary says "value" means "that which
render.-, anything useful or estimable."
A thing is useful only so long as it WEARS, especially
an article of Jewelry. And upon its quality depends the
esteem in which it is held bv the recipient.
"Laughlin" Jewelry possesses TRUE VALUE and
LASTING QUALITY in every sense of the words. Our
Christmas stocks fairly radiate sterling worth, and every
thing is marked at the same low prices that prevail here
the year 'round.

MUST FACE PROBLEMS
He gave a warning of the approach
of a crisis in American finance at the
close o f the European war. Collective
buying, state aided industrie i, govern

and other governmental co-operation
with business on th part of European
nations were among the problems he
declared American business may have
to face.
"Sound economic thinking" is the
solution he advanced for such prob
lems. In that connection he condemn
ed the "autocratic power of great la
bor unions." He said the federal re

would "restrict further gold lmporta

the Waldorf Astoria here tonight. i
'Twas a program that let no guilty
man and very few women escape. j
After dealing the grand old party
a resouding whack by parading and
hectoring a decrepit old man as the
last living Republican, the Brethren
went straight down the line from soup
to Roosevelt.

Why do we say that the New
Edison is not a "Talking Machine"?
H
t
Here is the answer
HERR are nearly 100 different makes of
talking machines and so-called Phono
graphs on the market. Each differs from ths
others in certain mechanical details, but all
have a common characteristic in varying
degree, viz.:—a strident and unnatural tone.
So much for all talking machines.
T
Now with reference to
9
B
Y actual comparison with more than a score of great singers and instrumentalists
it has been demonstrated that the New Edison re-creates all forms of music with
such literal fidelity that the original cannot be distinguished from the Re-Creation when
both are heard in direct comparison. The truthfulness of this statement is not open to
question. These comparisons were made in public before more than 300,000 people and
are chronicled in nearly 300 of America's principal newspapers.
No talking machine could sustain such a test and no talking machine manufacturer would
dare to submit his machine to such a test in public. Therefore, you will understand why
we say the New Edison is not a talking machine.
Come to Our Store
We want you to hear this wonderful new
instrument. We want you to read what
the leading newspapers have to say about
this New Edison invention. But most of
all we want you to hear the instrument
itself.
