Found a 1927 catalog for the Ft Dearborn Watch and Clock Co which featured a page describing the Vitanola phonographs for sale. Sorry, I only got a phone picture of the page. They wanted $85 for the catalog and I couldn't afford that, but they didn't mind if I took a picture of the phonograph page.

It's interesting that this is from 1927. The phonograph models illustrated seem to pre-date the era of electrical recording--small horns/older style cabinets; and there is the reference in the copy to playing lateral and vertical records--something I haven't seen in post-1925/1926 ads. I'm wondering if this was an older ad that made its way to the publication, or if the company was trying to sell out its old stock of pre-1925 models. (The prices don't reflect this, though.)
