The Edison phonograph monthly (Mar 1903-Feb 1904)

EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY. TRADE OPINIONS ON THE MONTHLY. The Pittsburg Phonograph Co. : — We have gone over the Edison Phonograph Monthly and are much pleased with its contents, as it gives a great deal of condensed information and in connection the advanced list of new moulded records, which makes it a very useful and attractive sheet. /. W. Maple, Ridgeivay, Mo.: — I received first copy of Phonograph Monthly. Have read every word and find it full of valuable information. Will be pleased to receive it regularly. L. R. Porter, Brockton, Mass.: — Vol. I, No. i, Edison Phonograph Monthly, at hand. It's just what I wanted to see. Long may it live. C. W. Noyes, Ilsen &* Co., Cincinnati, O.: — I beg to acknowledge receipt of the Edison Phonograph Monthly. I really think this paper will be greatly appreciated by Phonograph dealers in general. The only suggestion I might make that would improve the Monthly would be to give us more of it. I was very sorry to reach the last page. I hope it may grow each month and develop finally into a magazine of twenty-five orthirty pages. I feel sure that there is enough news in the Phonographic world to fill this much space in small type. James A. Spead, Newfields, N. H: — No. i of the Edison Phonograph Monthly at hand. Thanks. I think this is just what the trade has wanted for a long time. It will put the retail trade in touch with the home office, and keep all hands posted as to what is doing and will be done. Douglas &** Co., New York City : — We commend your enterprise in issuing the Edison Phonograph Monthly, which should be of great assistance to both Jobbers and Dealers. Morley Bros., Saginaw, Mich.:— We are in receipt of the No. i Edison Pho nograph Monthly, which meets our hearty commendation. J. H. Snyder, Uhrichville, O.: — The -Edison Phonograph Monthly is immense and is something we have been looking for. Every Jobber and Dealer should be proud of it. I for one will not leave a stone unturned to make it a success. * * * We are all one family, and children should assist the father. Let us all put our heads and ideas together and note the results. E. S. Perkins, Sunapee, N. H: — Am very much pleased with the Phonograph Monthly and hope that it will be continued. Would say that it keeps the Dealers in touch with ideas and improvements and gives notice of all advertising matter about to be published. Albert Palmer, Garrett, Ind.: — It is with pleasure I can say that I am very much taken up with the Edison Phonograph Monthly, and it will be an ever looked for and welcome visitor at my place of business. I am putting all my time in selling Edison goods, for I think there is no other like them. I am doing all I can to advertise them. I will tell you about how many Edison Records I have sold in a city of about 4,500 people. I have sold in the past year over 3,000 Records. How is that for doing business ? H. A. Richards, Parry Harbor, Ont.: — I think that the Phonograph Monthly is a a good move in the right direction. Think that theexchange column will be all right. /. B. Rich, Hobart, N Y.:— The first copy of the Phonograph Monthly received. It is just what Dealers in Phonographs and Phonograph goods want. You ask for suggestions and criticisms. If the new Monthly is worth anything it is worth preserving. I would suggest that you have a cheap binder made that will hold twenty-four numbers with cord in the back so that each number can be put in the binder when received. Send it only to Dealers interested who will ask for it, or, if you wish, who will pay for it. Should you decide to get out a binder put me down for the first copy. I will pay the price. [We will look into this matter. — Advg. Dept] Henry Rau, Jersey City, N. J.: — I received the Phonograph Monthly and carefully noted contents. I think that it fills a long felt want, as it will keep the Dealers in close touch with the "National." J. W. Dilbeck, Morrilton, Ark.: — Your first copy of the Phonograph Monthly received. Please accept thanks for the same. I like it much better than the Phonogram. N. C Hall, Fort Worth, Texas:— I have just received a copy of the Edison Phonograph Monthly. Thanks. It is just what the Dealer needs. I am very much pleased with your method of assisting the Dealers. The Edison Phonograph is the only talking machine of real merit on the market. There is a constantly growing demand for it. J. A. Anderson, Stromsburg, Neb.: — The new Edison Phonograph Monthly received, which I think is all right. Am glad to see that the prices on Edison goods are to be maintained. Wesley T. Harrison, Williamstown, Ky.: — I have the pleasure of acknowledging the receipt of your paper, Vol. 1, No. 1, and have carefully read every word of same. I believe that it will be of great benefit to Dealers. Robert F. Storey, Mt. Holly, N. J.:— I am in receipt of a copy of the first issue of the Edison Phonograph Monthly, and I was very much pleased with it. The Musical Supply Co., South Bend., Ind.: — The first copy of the Phonograph Monthly is certainly a welcome visitor. We have felt the necessity of something of its nature for some time. The advance list of records is certainly desirable, and I don't see how a Dealer could get along without it. It is needless to say that although we handle all makes, the Edison Machine and Record sales lead five to one. We keep all the machines and over five hundred Edison Records in stock, and are fast securing the entire trade of northern Indiana.
