The Phonogram (1902-08)

So it is with Edison Records. They make music for the millions. They echo all over the world. Musical music for the musidover is all right in its way ; but the musical purist cannot have his way all the time. That is why we continue to list coon ditties, ragtime airs and senti- mental ballads ; and shall continue to list them as long as there lives a class of people whose musical education never passes childhood’s state. The views of the Edison Works at Orange, N. J. that illustrate Mr. Openeer’s article on the making of Edison Moulded Records, are issued from time to time as supple- ments, as the paper on which The Phonogram is printed would not do justice to the delicacy of the engravings. To regular subscribers, these supplements are issued free. This notice will doubtless be read by many hold- ers of sample copies and others who may be interested in the subject. To these I would suggest that they become direct subscribers, sending thirty cents at once to the Publisher. The four engravings in this number, make twelve so far issued. Subscriptions received at once will be dated back to the June Phonogram (if so desired) thus including the entire series of these rather interesting prints If Artist proofs of these sixteen half-tones, printed on en- ameled paper, cut to a somewhat larger size, suitable for framing, will be mailed from time to time by the Publisher on receipt of fifty cents, to cover the cost of postage, pack- ing and printing. If Unless you have a Model C New Reproducer, and are playing Edison Moulded Records on your Phonograph, you do not know the possibilities of the instrument.
