fVe give it in our store. Yiru can hear it exactly as did the noted
psychologists who visited the Edison Shoj) on Fifth J venue, New Fork.
You've been hearing about the astonishing
realism of the New Edison.
Now you ask: "Is this realism so true that
I feel the same emotions |n listening to the
New Edison as I feel in listening to the
living singer?" v
Our answer is—put the New Edison to
the test!
Mr. Edison devised his unique Realism
Test for this very purpose. Then he invited
distinguished psychologists to try it out.
Rach of the three men got sensations that
were startJingly vivid.
"I could have sworn there was a living
finger standing behind me," said Dr. W.
V. Bingham, Director of the Department
of Applied Psychology, Carnegie Institute
of Technology.
"I felt the presence of a living singer.
The accompaniment seemed by a separate
instrument," reported Prof. C. H. Farns-
worth, Director of the Department of Music,
Teachers' College, Columbia University.
"The music filled my mind with thougnts
of pearre and beauty," said Wilson Follett,
Esq., noted music critic.
We'd like to have you come into our store
and try this same test. See what sensations
you get. The Realism Test is the conclusive
way for judging the realism of the NewEdison.

Ask about our Budget Plan. It shows you
how to buy your New Edison through Thrift.

AND CORN CROPS

Q. M. Brown of the Friendship com-
munity, about four miles South <?r
McKinney, has returned home from
it two weeks visit to relatives at dif-
ferent points in Oklahoma und Kan-
bub. Jle visited his son, who Is a All-
road employe at Tulsa and also visited
relatives at Independence and Chan-
ute, Kanss. Mr.' Brown says that corn
in Oklahoma river bottoms this year
Is really- the best corn that he ever
saw growing anywhere. He states that
wheat around Independence, Kansas,
which Is located In Montgomery coun-
ty, made an average of about thirteen
bushels per acre this year, which was
a light crop, as that is an excellent
wheat belt. I>ry weather and chlnoh
bugs have so badly damaged corn In
Kansas that not more than a third of
a normal yield can possible be made
this year. Mr. Brown says that the
state of Kansas made a bumper hay
crop this year. In riding through the
state, thousands of hay stacks may be
seen from the train windows dotting
the prairie landscape In every direc-
tion. Mr. Brown states that huy is
down us cheap alj seven dollars per
ton in some places In Kansas at pres-
ent.
