IS MUSIC A LUXURY?

(Published by Arrangement.)

■ * Emphatically the answer is "No." Otherwise we would be a bankrupt world! All nations, colours and creeds have definitely expressed themselves throughout the ages in music. Characteristics of each race have been emphatically ehronicled and stamped upon the mind of man for all time.

Thus the world of men have found that the clamourings of their souls will not be satisfied without song and have expressed their longings and dreams in music. On lyre, on harp, on reed and by strings. By drums and cymbals, bells and flutes. By all of these down down through the ages of harpsichord, spinet, piano, violin, to gramophone and player. *

Music therefore proves indispensable to mankind. For those who cannot express themselves personally in musical playing the great facilities of the gramophone and player piano are at their service.

The orchestras of the world and the greatest and sweetest singers enter the most humble home with equal happiness. Messrs. Lewis Eady, Ltd., have every facility at their command for supplying delightful models of gramophones. Both Cliftophone and the new H.M.V. machines in prices to suit all purses are on view in the Gramophone Department of the new musical Store in Queen Street. There is a constant supply of new records and the soundproof Audition Rooms enable clients to enjoy a quiet happy time listening to their old favourites or new records at an added personal comfort and convenience.—(Ad.)
