EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY.
WINDOW DISPLAY OF THE OUTLET COMPANY, PROVIDENCE, R. I.
The above half-tone shows a fine window exhibition of Edison Phonographs and Edison Gold Moulded Records made by the Outlet Company, of Weybosset street, Providence, R. L, conducted by J. Samuels & Bro. The exhibit is marked by unusual taste and ingenuity. This enterprising department store has
been handling Edison goods only a year, but it has been most successful in building up a large business on the cash and easy-payment plan. It has a separate room for its jobbing business. The firm has a force of salesmen who travel all over New England.
POLICE SUPERINTENDENT AND PHONOGRAPH.
At a garden party at the house of the German Chancellor of the Exchequer, Count von Buelow, the Superintendent of Police in Berlin, Herr von Borris, spoke the following characteristic sentences into an Edison Phonograph which had been prepared for it :
"The principal duty of a police constable is to act in accordance with his calling ; that is to say, he should work for the protection and safety of the public. This he will find an easier task when the public recognizes his office and ceases to regard him as a public enemy. His duty will be easily performed when he is sure of public support, and it is to be hoped that he will be able to reckon on this more and more in the future."
"It would be a good plan," remarks the Berliner Tageblatt, "to make many duplications of this record and to have same played in every police station. The public would thus be made acquainted with the wish of the Superintendentr-' — Berlin Phonogramm.
TWO PHONOGRAPH DONT'S FOR DEALERS.
Don't hold back your orders for Phonographs and Records. No matter from whom you buy, get your orders in early. Anticipate your wants and have the goods on hand when your trade wants them.
Don't fail to make up mailing lists of probable customers and send some printed matter to them regularly. Have one list of individuals who do not own Phonographs and make a regular effort to interest them. Have another list* of Phonograph owners in your territory and send them a list of new Records each month.
It is probably not a mere coincidence that the demand for Record Supplements has been quite as heavy as the demand for Records in the past three months. Dealers are making up lists of Phonograph owners and sending them a Supplement each month. They are finding it an excellent way to get business.
