Green, Willimantic, Conn.: Q. — Have recently received machines with a loud humming noise caused by the governors; would like to know how to overcome it. A. — The application of a little graphite or vaseline will usually cause the noise to disappear. The Jacot Music Box Co., of Union Squarer New York, in one day last month sold an Edison Phonograph to Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, another to Reginald Vanderbilt and a third that was sent as a wedding present to Miss Katherine Neilson, who was married to Mr. Vanderbilt in April. Each machine was a riumph. ^v ^ V^riu Jobbers or Dealers giving trading stamps with Edison goods are liable to suspension for violation of contract. GLAD TO PUSH EDISON GOODS. C. A.

One of the most interesting letters received by the Advertising Department in the past month was the following from a Dealer at Montreal, Canada : On receipt of this month's Monthly I notice you request clippings of advertisements, and I herewith enclose a clipping of my advertisement which appeared in four of the best papers in this city. I consider the statement as in the advertisement of considerable honor as well as a great advertisement for the Edisonmachine, for in Canada as well as all over the world, Madame Albani's name is known to everybody, and her statements are highly valuable. Yours truly, J. H. Superior. The clipping referred to was from the Montreal Daily Star of April 3, 1903, and it is herewith reproduced : Madame Albani's Visit. During her recent stay in this City, on March 27th last the Canadian prima donna paid a special visit to our store, No. 2458-St. Catherine St., and hearing several selections oa the EDISON PHONOGRAPH She was delighted with the wonderful reproduction, also the ability, of RECORDING your voice, to perfection, to be heard at any time and as often as desired* and expressed her delight, saying "IT'S SURPRISINGLY MARVELLOUS." Yoa will all agree wttb her opinion, if you only hear the Genuine Phonograph. PRICES TO SUIT ALL PURSES. CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS: The J. H.
