T IS VERY SELDOM that we have the
chance to hear great bands swing past.
Sousa's band has been in Houston but
once- in the past decade. Very few times in one's lifetime perhaps are we
given the chance of hearing them. But on a Victrola you may hear them any
day and with the same big inspiration as if the big bands were actually march-
ing by
Sousa's Band Pryor's Conway's and Vessela's the great United States
Marine Band or the Black Diamonds Band of London Garde Republicane
Band of France Bands de Alabarderos of Madrid. It makes no difference-
day and with the same inspirations as if the big bands were actually
marching by
Our Victrola Department
Offers you choice of all styles Victrolaa from the very
small inexpensive ones to the largest ones and choice
of several woods and finishes are offered
