The Brunswick Unlocks the Gates
For All Lovers of Music
T TNTIL the coming of The ‘Brunswick, music lovers had
II to buy and play records made by the makers of their
phonographs. This meant barring many of the favorite
artists. It meant a limited selection.
* *
For instance, The Brunswick makes it possible for you to
now enjoy the famous Pathe records, Europe’s favorites. These
wonderful Pathe records cannot be played on ordinary phono-
graphs. The Brunswick provides a sound
box for the Pathe records, without extra cost.
Now you may buy any record you want,
whatever make, and The Brunswick will
play it as you have never heard it played
before. The Brunswick plays all records.
It is all phonographs in one. It opens
the gate to a new world of music, hitherto
limited.
Hear The Brunswick yourself, then
decide. We leave it to you, after making
comparison. We know you will agree
with thousands of others that The Bruns-
wick has a better tone, and that its many
features make it the phonograph you have
always wanted.
