"Important Change In Record Seal Records
All single sided Red Seal Victor Records have been withdrawn, and replaced with double sided. Most of the world's greatest artistes sing for the Victor exclusively, and this new arrangement gives you two records for little more than the price of one. Over 200 records have just reached us.

10 in. Double Records................................ $1.75
12 in. Double Records................................ 2.50
