EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY. APPRECIATIVE COMMENT. C. J . Heppe &* Son, Philadelphia. The current issue of the Edison Phonograph Monthly is indeed a success, and is in direct line with other efforts of the National Phonograph Company in that it is progressive. The Phonogram in its day served as a pioneer to blaze the way for the Monthly, as did the tin foil machine for the Triumph. The present number is particularly interesting as it brings to the notice of Jobber and Dealer the conditions under which Phonographs and Records are sold. The moral effect of a monthly monitor, like the Phonograph Monthly, is incalculable. The "Family Talk" which covers so many points and rules must assist all Jobbers and Dealers. Salesmen will also work to better advantage by a perusal of these articles. The analysis of the new issues of Records is a commendable feature. Would suggest that the authors' names be included in the discussion of these new numbers, as some good selling points are to be gained \r\ knowing the story of a song or other selection. We are often asked the history of a popular number. Wishing you the success your efforts deserve. May 14, 1903. H. W. Mosier, Stockton, Cal.: It is with intense gratification that I acknowledge receipt of the Edison Phonograph Monthly. A better step toward keeping Jobber and Dealer in touch with all that is progressive with this industry that is making marvellous strides and gaining foothold the world over, was never made. Whenever introduced in the home, the Phonograph becomes one of the family. By letting the people know about the Edison Phonograph and Edison Records, my sales have increased tremendously. May 7, 1903. W . R. Mosley, Lothair, Ga. : I have received two issues of your Edison Phonograph Monthly, and must say that it proves a great help to Jobbers and Dealers. The promoters of this little volume deserve much credit and I hope to receive a copy every month promptly. It is a great help to me. May 30, 1903. H. S. Hayes, Southtield, W. Va. : The Phonograph Monthly, for May just reached me and I think it a great aid to Dealers as it contains many valuable hints and suggestions, all of which if followed are bound to result in increased business for the Dealer in Edison goods. May 25, 1903. Demorest Sewing Machine Co., M. L. Gregson, Proprietor, No. 153 West 23d Street, New York. A copy of your Phonograph Monthly of May issue reached me a day or two ago. I digested everything in it, and was so pleased with its contents that I cannot refrain from saying that you are to be congratulated upon the novel idea of keeping in touch with your agents. It certainly has a tendency to cause the Dealer to feel that you are interested in his success, thereby bringing about that close business relation that should always exist between an enterprising and energetic manufacturer and the one who comes in direct contact with the purchaser. I venture to say that the majority of your agents feel as I do in this regard and that beneficial results in the shape of increased sales will follow as a natural result of your latest enterprise. May 25, 1903. McKenzie Novelty Company, Butte, Montana. I have just received the May number of the Phonograph Monthly, and think it fills a long felt want. Have got more information from this number of the Monthly that I desired than from all the advertising matter I received from the company for months. Kindly send me back numbers for 1903. May 25, 1903. Frank H. M alone, Do than, Ala. : I received the second and third issues of the Edison Phonograph Monthly, but have not received the first issue, please send me a copy. I am glad for myself and all other Dealers that you have gotten out such a magazine devoted to the Phonograph trade. I think your Monthly is the nicest magazine of its kind that I ever saw. It is just what I have been expecting and wishing for. I know it: will be a big help to all Dealers and Jobbers. I wish your Monthly much success and hope it will grow in volume. May 25, 1903. The Reading Phonograph Co., Reading, Pa., Edw. A. Gicker, Manager. The Edison Phonograph Monthly is to the Jobber and Dealer what the new model "C" Reproducer is to the old Phonograph, new life. At once interesting and instructive, it shows the protection afforded all Jobbers and Dealers of Edison goods. We feel that the trade will be greatly benefited by the many good points shown in this Monthly and think that every man in the business to-day should read each Monthly carefully, from beginning to end. May 16, 1903. C. F. Littlepage, Anthony, Kan.: I beg to acknowledge the receipt of the March and April numbers of your most interesting and valuable magazine, the Edison Phonograph Monthly. It ought to be in the hands of every owner of an Edison Phonograph. I have shown.it to some music lovers and owners of Edison Records. They all thought it would be a welcome visitor. I hope you will continue to enlarge and give us more of it. I for one will pay for such a magazine if you will name your price. With best wishes for your success. JAPANESE RECORDS. Some time in July we shall get out a folder with reference to the Japanese Records, and will then be in shape to fill orders for them. In ordering supplies or repair parts give the name and number of the Phonograph for which they are wanted.
