EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY.
WESTERN SALES FORCE VISIT THE ORANGE FACTORY.
George M. Nisbett, Manager of our Chicago office, and his seven salesmen, paid a visit to the factory at Orange, N. J., during the week of August 28. They reached New York on August 28 and spent the two following days
inspecting Mr. Edison's laboratory and the various buildings which comprise the factory of the National Phonograph Co. It was the first visit to Orange of most of the salesmen, and they obtained a much better idea of how Phonographs and Records are made than they had before known. They also found the plant
WESTERN SALESMEN AT THE EDISON LABORATORY.
The seven salesmen are standing in the back row and reading from right to left they are: W. C. Patrick, L. R. Chandler, F. L. Fritchey, W. Hope, A. H. Kloehr, M. G. Kreusch and A. B. Chandler.

a much larger proposition than they had anticipated. Mr. Edison met the party at the laboratory and gave each a cordial hand shake and a pleasant greeting. The occasion was the first time that the Western salesmen had ever met together, and on the second day the wish was expressed that they might be photographed in a group. A happy combination of circumstances made it possible to get Mr. Edison, Mr. William E. Gilmore, President of the company, and Mr. C. H. Wilson, General Manager of Sales, to join the group. The picture is reproduced herewith. Mr. Nisbett was detained in New York and to the regret of his faithful co-workers could not be included in the picture. This will explain why his photograph is frere given separately.
Thursday and Friday were spent in seeing New York and its nearby resorts. On Thursday night President Gilmore gave a dinner in honor of the party in New York. When the party left for Chicago Friday night they had absorbed enough material to tell interesting Western Manager. stories to the trade for some weeks to come.
