The Standard Talking Machine Co. of Pittsburg Are Doing Some Excellent Work in Arousing Interest in the Talking Machine Business Generally Among Dealers. The Standard Talking Machine Co., of Pittsburg, Pa., have been most successful in the preparation and issuance of well-written and interesting letters as means of stimulating trade. One issued some weeks ago by J. C. Roush, manager of sales, gives an idea of the kind of work this enterprising company are doing these days. It reads: Dear Dealer — "Talking machines have gone up! "For many months past we have anticipated this move. "Trade conditions justified it. "For a long time we have labored under difficulties which had finally to be met, and now every talking machine, record, accessory and all our supplies have gone up — to the eighth floor of the Irish building, 800-802 Penn avenue, corner of Eighth street. (Prices are still on the ground floor.) "For some time we have been thinking of giving up the retail business in Pittsburg and of enlarging our facilities to enable us to better handle our growing jobbing and wholesale trade 'Our new quarters are not only larger but are all on one floor, arranged and classified in just the way we have wanted them for a long time. "Our show rooms and general offices are now very presentable. For the exhibition of machines we have newly constructed and improved rooms, where our friends can see the working of the latest models and try the new records without being interrupted. Our shipping facilities have been greatly enlarged and are arranged to take care of more than double our past capacity. "To you, who have contributed to making it necessary for us to move into larger and better quarters, we extend a most hearty invitation to make it possible some time during this coming spring to visit us. Come and see what a really up-to-date talking machine company (wholesale) looks like! "We are able to furnish on the quickest and shortest notice any item known to the talking machine world. "White, 'phone or telegraph your wants. Every order filled on the day received— unless at the 'eleventh hour.' " intimately expect that he will give a splendid account of himself in his new sphere of activity. E. E. FORBES CO. BRANCH IN MEMPHIS. . (Special to The Talking Machine World.) Memphis, Tenn., March 1, 1910. The E. E. Forbes Piano Co. have not discontinued, nor do they intend to discontinue, the branch of their talking machine business which they have established in this city, contrary to general reports. They recently placed a new man in charge of the business and he seems to have taken hold of it in a very satisfactory way. A representative from headquarters at Birmingham states that they are going to spend considerable money fixing up their talking machine branch in this city and intend to increase their business materially. HERBERT SIMPSON IN CHARGE Of the Advertising Department of Kohler & Campbell, the New York Manufacturers. KEEP YOUR PROMISES. Herbert Simpson, for four years assistant advertising manager of the Victor Talking Machine Co., Camden, N. J., assumed the management on February 7 of the advertising department of Kohler & Campbell, the distinguished piano manufacturers of New York City. Mr. Simpson has entire charge of the publicity department of this business — one of the largest conducted by any piano concern in Greater New York. He is splendidly equipped for this position and is well acquainted with conditions in the music trade industry. Those who know him "If you really ask me,"' said a retail man to whom the question was propounded, "what I consider one of the most important minor points in the conduct of a store, I would reply without hesitation, 'Keep your promises.' People like cheap prices, and they will stand for a good deal in order to obtain them, but it is my belief that the one thing they like better than saving money is to be absolutely sure of what they buy." The Gross Talking Machine Co. have purchased the interest of W. A. Magruder in the Talking Machine Shop, Nashville, Tenn. Edison and Victor machines are handled.
