16 EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY. What " Double Service" Means to the Edison Christmas Trade "Double Service" means amusement and language study — recreation and education — fun and seriousness — combined to make the Edison Phonograph the most attractive holiday gift that ah exacting public could wish. I. C. S. Language textbooks represent an expenditure of $50,000 to standardize the languages in Edison Gold Moulds or in other words to "print" pronunciation and revolutionize language teaching. There is nothing deep or impracticable about the I. C. S. language method. Any dealer can demonstrace it as easily as he plays an amusement record. One prominent merchant had a salesman give trial lessons in his Edison Phonograph Department and sold over one hundred I. C. S. Outfits during the holidays. Let us equip you for " Double Servicee " Send $2.00 for dealers' demonstrating outfit (expressage prepaid); includes four sample moulded records in French, German, Spanish, and English with corresponding I. C. S. textbooks for instructing Americans and Foreigners. Special holiday circulars and catalogues are now ready for the trade to push " Double Service." Write to-day.
