Pathé Advertisement c.1912

Post by epigramophone »

This interesting period advertisement extols the advantages of Pathé machines and records.
Being an old technophobe I don't know to convert the WEBP image into a jpeg and post it here.

This is the only such rarity that I have. It came cheaply in a mixed auction lot of Pathé discs :

Interesting advertisement. Now I’m sure many decades ago I saw a similar advertisement, but used for Neophone records, reproduced in the Hillandale News.

According to Charley Straight's on line biography, https://bixography.com/charleystraight.html, he and Gene Greene recorded 64 sides for Pathé during their European tour of 1912/1913.
