TO THE TRADE.
Jobbers and Dealers in Edison Phonographs and Records are hereby, formally advised that no change will be made in prices or discounts on Phonographs or Records. Announcement has repeatedly been made to the trade that no changes of any kind, either in the style of the various types of Phonographs or in the prices of Phonographs or Records, were in contemplation, and nothing has taken place that will have any effect upon this decision. Relying upon our statements in these matters, orders have been placed with us for large quantities of machines and Records. The fact that there are cheaper goods on the market has never been considered in fixing prices for Edison goods.
The National Phonograph Company protects its Jobbers and Dealers to the utmost, and will continue to protect them in maintaining the prices of Phonographs and Records as they now exist.
Very truly yours, NATIONAL PHONOGRAPH CO. W. E. Qilmore, President and General Manager.
September 29, 1903.
