Hear an Avonia gramophone and you will agree with the hundreds of satisfied fiends we have and whose letters of appreciation are at your disposal at our showrooms, 313, Queen Street, that it is almost impossible to discriminate between the many obvious merits the Avonia has over other gramophones. One at first is doubtful which thought ia uppermost—the superb tone and cabi- | net work, or the extraordinary value the machine represents at the prices and terms asked—Avonia* are sold for as low as 5/ deposit and 2/6 weekly. Hear Galli-Curci in coloratura passages that would shiver most gramophones— the reproduction is perfect down to the cheapest model. Even Caruso, with his wonderful volume cannot make an Avonia sound like a gramophone—the reproduction is too natural—too real— it is hard to believe the singer is only being reproduced. Our services and comfortable parlours are at your disposal at any time and we shall be happy t6 demonstrate any of, the many Avonia models we have in stock, or if you cannot visit us send for our free illustrated catalogue, which will be sent you without your incurring any liability whatsoever—-(Ad.)
