Time Narrows Down to Hours
End o This Great Pathe Sale is in Sight
YOU CAN no longer put off i f you would take advantage or the opportiinity this sale affords
you to own a perfectly wonderful phonograph and receive absolutely FREE
$25 WORTH OF GENUINE PATHE RECORDS YOUR OWN SELECTION
This sale is virtually at an end.
Only a very few of the beautiful Pathe Phonographs
of which we had 1 00 remain.
A day or two at the most and the sale is over.
We believe it to be a truthful statement when we say
that this has been the most successful sale of its kind ever
held in El Paso.
It has done what we started out to do: It has demon-
strated conclusively every point of superiority possessed
by the Pathe Phonograph.
The people of El Paso have been quick to see the
advantages of the indestructible Sapphire Ball as a means .
of playing a record in contrast with needles which scratch
and wear out the records and have to be changed every
time the record is changed.
Come in tomorrow. Make it a point to come in. To hear and know the
Pathe Phonograph is well worth the time it takes. For sooner or later you
win own a phonograph and to know the Pathe is to want it in preference to all
other makes.
