T DESIRE to state that during the last five years I have sung over 2,500 different songs before the Edison Phonograph, some people are not aware of this fact; make a few inquiries and be convinced. Most of my work was for the U. S. Phonograph Co. as I was under exclusive contract for two years with that company, and I bear willing testimony to the fair and business-like treatment received at their hands. I also desire to take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to the Chicago Talking Machine Company for their kindness to me during my several weeks' stay with them. I am under no contract whatever, and free to sing for any one desiring my services. I shall always be glad to do all in my power to advance the interests of any company who may desire to engage me to sing. Cordially yours, DAN W. QUINN, 506 West 20th Street, New York.
I have Imported 10,000 Feet of Extra Fine Quality RUBBER TUBING .....
There are four things absolutely necessary to give a successful exhibition of the Talking Machine: Good records, good diaphragm, good machine, and a proper medium to transmit the sound to the listener.
If you use hearing tubes, you must have a hard flexible tube that will transmit sound quickly and sharply. A soft, mushy one that will absorb and deaden the sound before it is transmitted to the ears, is useless.
A great many concerns in this country have succeeded in making tubing that gives good results, but it is not serviceable, and cracks and becomes useless after little use.
I have secured the U. S. agency for the finest tubing made for Talking Machines. Its peculiarly hard, but flexible quality serves to transmit the sound in a most Avonderful manner, giving fully twice as loud a reproduction as ordinary tubing.
Sample sent free on receipt of stamp.
Complete one way hearing tube mailed on receipt of 37c. (cost price). Tubing 4J cents per foot.

New York, Dec. 12, 189G.
"I have this day purchased a 4-way hearing tube from Mr. Hunting, and after a careful test, I find that it transmits sound from the 'phone diaphragm at least twice as loud as the tubing * which was furnished with my machines. — It is the best tubing I have ever seen.
