NOT A LUXURY.
[From the Salem, Oregon, Sentinel.]
About twenty years ago persons who
were privileged to hear Edison's first
crude phonograph thought it a wonderful thing, but little did they dream
that these machines in improved and
perfected form would within a few
years be available to every home.
Then the records were made on tin
foil and it was impossible to preserve
them. Later the recording was done
ou wax and by delicate handling the
records were good for considerable service. To-day the records are perfect,
being molded from hard wax. With
proper handling they will last for
years. The Columbia Phonograph Co.
is turning out first class graphophones
so cheap that no family can afford to
do without the pleasure and satisfaction of owning one. The writer • has
had one in his family three years and
looks upon"it now as a necessity rather
than a luxury.
The Columbia Phonograph Company
37 Grand River avenue,, Detroit* headquarters for graphophones and talkiug
machine supplies of every kind, will
send you catalogs ou application.   47

Sell. Hart,- Shifter & Marx Clothing.
Of all the beautiful, attractive creations that the famous
"Clothes Makers," Hart, Schaffner & Marx ever produced,
this fall's styles eclipse all others from an artistic standpoint.'
The hand of the artist is in every line and curve of the garment, Their designer, like the designer of the "Beliance,"
is a product of American soil and industry,—was born an artist—could not help himself—and to-day stands at the, head pf
our nation as an artistic designer of Men's Clothing...
. Merchant Tailors-from all parts of the country secure "the H.,
S. & M. "Style Book" in order that they may know" the correct
styles to make for their customers.
Clothing dealers throughout the TJ. S. who haven't the H., S.
& M. goo'db, but who wish to impress you with the -value of the
articlftAhey want to sell, will always say, »'this is just as good
as the H., S. & M." But "why buy an imitation, when you can
get the real article. It costs no more, and the workmanship,-
'linings and trimmings are much better.
