The Jeannette

 

By Doug Boilesen, 2022

The low-priced Jeannette was advertised "Strong and Simple Mechanism. A Child Can manage it."

Advertised as providing "Excellent Evening's Entertainment" young children are illustrated dancing to it. No children's records are mentioned in the ad, however, "best performances of the World's Greatest Artists" and the "World's Best Singers, Band Selections, etc..." are highlighted entertainers.
