*4 EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY. the Exhibition model selling at $115, and the Universal model, at $75. The latter has recently been placed on the market. Both instruments are high grade moving picture machines and none of the competing instruments on the market can be compared with it. Edison moving picture Films are divided into two classes, A and B. Class A retails at 15 cents per foot for subjects of any length; class B sells for 12 cents per foot. The price classification is determined by considerations other than quality, such as the original cost of obtaining the negative from which the films are made. The price conditions relative to the selling of Edison Kinetoscopes and Films are the same as with the Phonograph and Records. List prices must be maintained. The effective carrying out of this policy has been of benefit to all Dealers in Kinetoscopes and Films, and price cutting is^ractically unknown as well as unnecessary. The Phonograph Dealer who receives an inquiry for information need not have special knowledge of the goods, as the printed matter issued by the Edison Manufacturing Co. covers the subject thoroughly, and this can be transmitted to the customer. If the Dealer is asked whether he can furnish out of stock any of the subjects listed in the Film catalogue he will answer in the negative and still not be at a disadvantage in competition with other Dealers. It is impracticable to carry a complete line of Films in stock. Many of the subjects are ordered but rarely, and the Edison list is very large, comprising many hundreds of Films. Orders for Films sent to the factory will be filled in from one to three .days. In accepting orders for Films, it should be understood between the Dealer and customer that they cannot be placed conditionally and the Films must be accepted when received. It would not pay the Dealer to order Films subject to examination, with chances of rejection. The Dealer's first investment should embrace the following as a minimum : Two Edison Kinetoscopes of either style ; first order for two machines being requisite to entitle the Dealer to a trade discount; 1,000 feet of moving picture Films, assorted subjects, including comics, mysterious and traveling scenes.
