The Phonograph Monthly Review 59 November, 1927 3u Mmflriam iIt is with the deepest regret that we jA announce the death of Edmond **** Franklin Sause, the Manager of the Foreign Record Department of the Col- umbia Phonograph Company, with which he had been associated for over a quar- ter of a century. One of the best known officials in the trade, he took an active interest in the affairs of the company and was an important and loyal member of the organization. He was a keen student of the technical end of the business and understood every phase of record and phonograph manufacturing, in addition to having a deeply cultivated appreciation for the best music. Mr. Sause was a man of exceptionally high ideals, friendly and approachable, liking nothing better than to discuss music and records with anyone who shared his constant great interest in the industry. His knowledge of mechanical detail in the art was a by-word; nothing was too trivial for his attention; his scru- pulous care was evident even in the pack- ing for shipment of the goods sent out by the Export Department under his man- agement. With constructive vision he wrote manuals of salesmanship and me- chanics which were models of clarity and practical value. An associate of Mr. Sause has said of him that “his influence was of the sort to be felt and expressed not all at once, but remembered and missed in countless de- tails of significant value.” Although Mr. Sause was only forty- three years old, his health had been a matter of concern for some time. He is survived by his widow Ellen Bannan Sause and two young children, Edmond F. Sause, Jr., and Ellen Marie Sause. I was among those who counted it a deep pleasure to enjoy his friendship, and his death comes with a keen sense of per- sonal loss. I have no doubt but that many of the readers of this magazine were ac- quainted either directly or indirectly with Mr. Sause’s genial and friendly personal- ity, and I am sure that they will join me in expressing to his widow and children, and former associates the regret we feel over the loss to the whole phonograph world and to ourselves personally.
