The Edison phonograph monthly (Mar 1903-Feb 1904)

EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY CONCERNING PRINTED MATTER. Form No. 428 is another four page folder, samples of which will be sent out to the trade this month. This folder shows the first Phonograph made by Mr. Edison and also the Triumph type, and includes a general argument on the merits of the Phonograph and Edison Records. This has been gotten out in large quantities, and we should be glad to have Jobbers and Dealers use them where they can do so to advantage. The fact does not appear to be known to all Dealers that we get out a set of Record Order Sheets, giving the numbers of all Records listed by us. These are printed so that it is only necessary to insert the figures showing the quantity of such Records as it is desired to order. We are anxious to have these Record Order Sheets used by all Dealers who order any considerable number of Records at one time. They not only make it easier for a customer to send an order, but they prevent mistakes and make it possible to handle orders with greater facility at our factory. We have been much disappointed in not receiving the supply of the new celluloid placard from the manufacturer. They should have been in before this, but various causes have combined in delaying their completion. As soon as we receive them, we shall take immediate steps to get them in the hands of the trade. Until then, we must ask the Jobbers and Dealers to have patience. The four page folder, "Music in Every Home.'' was so largely demanded by the trade that we have used up the first edition of 250,-000 copies. A new edition is now being printed, and will be ready for use in about a month. We have on hand a large supply of the colored lithographed card, No. 409, showing the hoy "Looking for the Band." This should be a very useful card for sending out with mail matter, and we shall be glad to furnish it to all Dealers who will make careful use of it. We might say concerning this, as well as all other printed matter issued by this Company, that we have plenty of it for such Dealers as will use it advantageously, but have not a single card to be wasted. The carrying limitations of a one cent pos \ tasre stamp caused us to omit the sending out \$n8 In the Good Old Summer Time (Song) of a colored poster in May. It \\\\\ go out with the June matter, possibly with this copy of the Monthly. Catalogue of Parts, No. 371, is daily expected from the printer. Jobbers and Dealers who have orders on file for this form, will get them as soon as they are received. A JOBBER'S PRIZE SELECTION. 7'he following is a reprint of a circular issued by a Jobber at Easton, Pa., and it is published here to show what one Jobber regards as "a Prize Selection" of Edison Records : 15,000 Edison Records.
