Cylinder Lists: Columbia Brown Wax, Columbia XP, Columbia 20th Century, and Indestructible (2000)

Catalogue of Columbia Records, T HE Success of the Columbia Records has been unprecedented, and the demand for them from all parts of the world has long been great. Our army of patrons know our records are the best and are cheap only in price. Those who use them know it pays to deal with headquarters. If those who have not as yet availed themselves of this privilege will favor us with a sample order we will demon- strate to their entire satisfaction that our position as Manufacturing Headquarters for the World for Talking Machines and Supplies, and our superior facilities for the manufacture of everything pertaining to the busi- ness, make it possible for us not only to supply records which can not be equalled in quality, but to furnish our patrons with them at less than the cost at which they can actually be made elsewhere. The enormous sale of our records is not due alone to the fact that they are offered at a low figure—poor records being dear at any price—but more particularly to the fact that a comparison between them and the high-priced ones offered by small dealers always results in further orders for our goods. If you are not among the fortunate ones who use our records, send your sample order at once and test our claims. How to Get Them, Send cash with order for any twelve selected from this catalogue. If less than twelve are wanted, 50 cents each. If full amount of cash does not accompany order goods will be sent C. O. D., pro- vided a deposit is sent with order to guarantee express charges. Remember ! A de- posit must positively accompany all C. O. D. orders. Express company’s charges for returning money can be saved by sending full amount of cash with order. How to Send Money, Remit by bank draft, P. O. money order, express order, or registered letter— never by personal check, as that method occasions delay in the shipment of goods. How to Order—Read Carefully, Write orders plainly, adding full address and shipping directions. Order by number only. Where it is possible, always state whether the records are to be used with horn ok with heaking tubes. This will enable us to give your order more intelligent attention than we could otherwise do, and will insure better results in the use of the records. If possible, make a double list, naming “second choice” of selections in the event those preferred first are not in stock. Unless this is done we take the liberty of substituting records of our own selection when necessary— except when direct instructions not to do so are given. Enclose a list of your records when it is desired that we substitute, as we will then be able to avoid duplicating. Records are'always sent by express, being too fragile to be safely transported by mail. Great care is exercised in packing, and all our receipts from express companies and other carriers are for goods forwarded ‘‘ in good order .” Our liability ceases when goods are delivered to carriers. We guarantee all our goods to be ex- actly as represented ; however, we will take back and exchange any records which, upon examination,' are unsatisfactory, provided the}' are shipped to us imme- diately upon their receipt , at the purchaser's risk, and with all charges prepaid; and are received at our office in same condition as when forwarded by us. This offer j-Mxo. anoly, of course, to records which have been in use. $5.00 PER DOZEN. ORDER BY NUMBER ONLY.
