Collmbia Phonograph Company. Dear Sirs:—I have had two of your machines in operation at the office of my firm for over a year, during which time they have proved to be equally serviceable for dictation of correspond- ence, reports, specifications, and descriptions of machinery, briefs for arguments, and for memo- randa and instructions to be left for my clerks in my absence. During tlie lime ibal I have had Ihe machines they have cost nothing for repairs, either in time or money, and there has been no difficulty what- ever in operating them either by myself or my clerks. One of the machines is run by a secondary battery and the other by the electric light current and they operate equally well. The dictating machine is arranged directly in front of me in my desk so that it is available for use at any moment, and I can dictate my memoranda or correspond, ence, or whatever itjmay »>e without depending upon the presence or efficiency of a clerk. This has proved to be of almost incalculable advantage inasmuch as I am enabled to make use of odd moments which otherwise would be wasted, and transact a great deal of work at times when my clerks could not be present. I can also dictate with much greater rapidity than would be prac ticable except with the services of a most expert stenographer. The machines have become just as regular a part of the business appliances as the typewriters. 1 have not had the slightest hesi- tancy whenever opportunity offered of recom- mending their adoption. Yours truly, Charles E. Foster.
