(i. M. I.andnking. a well-known oM
timer, at present employed in tin* me
chanical depaitmcnt of the Fairbank *
bureau of mines station, has jH'ritvtod
an improved talking machine which
reproduces the human voice, or any
thing else than any phonograph does,
in much louder and plainer sounds
than has yet been done by any other
invent ion.
In the construction of the talking
machine pioper there is practically tin
diffe once from standard mukgs. A
common horn, sounding box. winding
mote, and tone aims are used. In the
construction of the reproducer Mr.
J.anderking has made a radical de
parts e. Instead of using the mica
plates and needle arm for reproduction
by vibration, he has used two plates.
One of these is of brass and the other
of st' el. in each of these is a set of
reeds, which, when the machine is not
ion matters of importance. If time at
in operation or no air pressure is ap
plied. are meshed together. Common
talking machine needles arc used.
By means of air pressure the sound
is increased in volume many times
its original strength. A small motor
attached to a light socket is directly
connected to a small air compressor
which is in turn connected by pipe*
to an air pressure tank. By means >i
small pipes the air is brought to thf
reed plat* s. forcing them apart. From
the reproducer it is carried off dovre
the tune arm a id into the horn an t
-onruling box.
Mr. I.anderkir- has just finished hf«
machine. The motors and air com
pressor are mounted behind a glass
• use so that they can he seen by all.
The air pressure is governed by the
speed of the motor, which is rated at
on‘’*si\th horse power, and is con
trolled by a variable rheostat. The
loudness o: the tone depends entires

appi «‘d for and will probably be
granted soon. He also said that he

Among all products there is invariably one
ihzr to vers above the general mass. Among
ce.erl verag«s the pinnacle product, we feel,
is R/ !T.R SPECIAL. You m3y or may not
a'\rce that this is so. The clamorous appeal
for .ur p<?^ror:a ;e made in behalf of the
nuiueiou., ir.w.A.J.ious rival cereal beverages
may hi ve caused ycu to lose sight of the nota
ry superior qualities- of RAINIER SPECIAL.
So v/e u comparisons that the relative merits
of each orand oi cereal beverage might impar
(:?!! oe determined. We Virtue that the offer
ing of ny iher manufacturer of cereal bever
age be purchased and tested side by side with
RAlNIER SPECIAL. Si ch a test should ban
ish ?.!1 uncertainty of superiority and mark for
once and all which product is best. In advocat
ing a test of this nature it would be manifestly
unfair to point out a single one of the favorable
qualities of our own product. Our contention
is that it should be accorded no advantage
whatsoever. Our plea is to let each cereal
beverage make its own uninfluenced appeal for
your favor. Such a test is fair. If the result
of such a test indicates that RAINIER SPE
CIAL is the superior of all other cereal bever
ages, we feel that in fairness to yourself you
should always call for it. If the result of the
test is unfavorable to RAINIER SPECIAL you
will know it is a cereal beverage to avoid. For
the sake of being informed you should make
the comparisons we advocate. Today is a
good day to do it. Practically every grocery,
drug store, fountain and soft drink parlor car
ries RAINIER SPECIAL and several other
brands of cereal beverage.
