Wednesday was Georgia Products Day, and most every
body has found that a mighty good dinner can be gotten up of

The Macon Telegraph aptly remarks: “There have in

Some of our friends must have been in the huge audience
which heard Marie Morfisey in her Tone-Test recital at the
School Auditorium. Ask these people about it. This is the
astonishing discovery they made:
The keenest musical tar can not distinguish
any difference between the voice of the
living arflst and the RE-CREATION of
that voice by the New Edison.
And does it not amaze you, too, that Mr. Edison has succeeded,
in producing an instrument that captures every subtle sweetness
of the human voice—that gives you all the ear can give you of
the art of the world’s great artists. No other phonograph dares
- to ipake this'direct comparison.
