•The following advertisement appeared in the Jan. 14, 1916, Rock County Herald:
The Artist’s Tone is the Edison Tone.
There is no such thing as an “Edison Tone.” There is, in the New Edison, a Bonci Tone, a Spalding Tone, a Rappold Tone, Anna Case Tone – each separate and distinct; each faithful to the distinctive character of the artist. But the New Edison has no tone of its own. There is no foreign sound, no “talking machine” tone. Mr. Edison has eliminated all these. The music of the New Edision is nothing but the pure, unaltered, life-like tone of the original artist. Come in and hear your favorite record today on the New Edison Amberola. We will be glad to play it for you without obligation.
We can also supply you with any style of Victor or Victrola. — Bert E. Leas, Luverne.
