EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY, JANUARY, 1916
Out Among Our Enterprising Dealers
IF we don't get around as often as you think we should, don't forget that we are always glad to hear from you and know of any good stunts you have pulled off. Don't wait for us to ask for these ; send accounts of them while they are fresh in your mind. Send us photos of your store, your window, or of any event that you feel we should be interested in. We will be glad to get it; and, if possible, use it.
THE PHONOGRAPH STORE OF MEADVILLE, PENNA.
LEWIS G. DuVALL, proprietor of this attractive store, devotes almost the entire space to Edison Phonographs, although he carries other lines of goods, such as sewing machines, etc. He devotes the front part of the store to the Edison Cylinder line, and one feature quite prominent is a Blue Amberol Record rack fifteen feet long, which holds twenty-two hundred and eighty-eight (2288) records.
Right in front of this he keeps a table full of surplus stock records all the time. On this table he keeps also a good many records that are not good sellers. He says one would be surprised at the amount of records he sells from this case to customers who look them over and pick out those they think they will like. This strikes us as an excellent method to work off a surplus stock.
When a recital is to begin, folding chairs are called into use, and the sewing machines are moved to one side. By economical use of space some seventy-five or eighty persons can be accommodated.
EDISON DEALERS' ASSOCIATION
ALL of you have heard about the Dealers' Conference that was held at the Edison Laboratories on August 9th and 10th, 1915.
Officers were elected as follows:
President, Ralph B. Smith, Columbus, Ohio; Vice-President, Harry M. Meyer, Pittsfield, Mass.; Secretary, Gust. Holmquist, Erie, Pa.; Treasurer, D. J. Crowley, Baltimore, Md.
Honorary members were elected as follows: Thomas A. Edison, C. H. Wilson, Vice-President and General Manager Thomas A. Edison, Inc.; William Maxwell, Second Vice-President Thomas A. Edison, Inc.; E. J. Berggren, Secretary and Treasurer Thomas A. Edison, Inc.; A. C. Ireton, General Sales Manager Thomas A. Edison, Inc.
Thomas A. Edison, Inc., is in no sense sponsor for the International Edison Phonograph Dealers' Association, but it believes that much good can be accomplished by this Association, and, as evidenced by the fact that its officials have become honorary members, the Company is disposed to work with the Association.
Gust. Holmquist, of Erie, Pa., the hustling Secretary of the International Edison Phonograph Dealers' Association, has already obtained a large number of applications for membership.
If you wish a copy of the Association's constitution, write the secretary. If you have any suggestions to offer, write him, but be sure above all things to mail your application with your check for $1, the membership fee.
