The Edison phonograph monthly (Jan-Dec 1916)

18 EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY, MARCH, 1916 For St. Patrick's Day— March 17 THERE is no reason why every Edison Amberol dealer should not do a large and profitable business in Irish records during the season of St. Patrick's Day if a little attention is paid to displaying and featuring the numbers that appeal to the hearts of the people of Erin. There is no race more loyal to its traditions or no people more susceptible to the charms of music than the Irish and in order to do a lucrative business in connection with St. Patrick's Day it is only necessary for the dealer to bring his Irish records to the attention of his Irish trade . In order to accomplish this, we suggest the use of window displays and also a liberal use of card copy. St. Patrick's Day will suggest many ideas for clever window displays and the enterprising dealer will have no difficulty in arranging an exhibit that will appeal to the trade he seeks to attract. We give some examples of card copy that can be used to good effect and dealers can prepare similar copy according to their own ideas. It costs but very little to have such cards prepared by a sign painter and many dealers are sufficiently skilled in lettering to make them without assistance. Or the material can be used in newspaper ads. At the bottom of this page is a list of Amberol records of Irish songs and instrumental numbers. All dealers should go over the list carefully and determine the selections that he should have to meet the coming demand.
