It is hoped the public will send gifts in kind or money so that the work can be continued. The goods would be sent for on receipt of a card or 'phone message. Old or used articles will be welcomed.

The Pathephone sweetness is unique. Its charm is inimitable. All the scratch!ness of the old-time needle machine is eliminated, because the Pathephone has a. smooth-gliding sapphire point reproducer.
