EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY. 1 UjjuWmU.aa.wJ ' HEADQUARTERS OF PETER BACIGALUPI, 784-786 MISSION STREET, SAN FRANCISCO, PACIFIC COAST JOBBER IN EDISON GOODS. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLAIMS AND FACTS. This is the first time I've had an opportunity to write to you concerning my sales of your Phonographs and Records. It is about eighteen months that I've handled your goods exclusively. The first few months I had only three machines and about 200 Records, and had met with quite some disappointments. So I then thought it would be wise to put in a complete stock. I now have a complete stock of your Gold Moulded Records and a few machines of each type except the Triumph and the higher priced machines of which I have one of each. I had some calls for disk machines and Records, so I just put in a line of disk machines and records. But I find that it increases the sales of Edison Phonographs and Records fifty per cent, for no one can tell me that a disk machine is better than an Edison. The moment a customer says so, I immediately put up a disk record and then an Edison Gold Moulded Record. When he hears the difference between the disk machine which he said was best and the Edison which is the best that settles all arguments. Louis Lipchitz, Passaic, N. J.
