We have gotten out a special booklet, printed in two colors, for use only in replying to inquiries for our catalogues resulting from our magazine advertising. It is called "Home Entertainments with the Edison Phonograph." It is not intended to supply this form to the trade. The edition printed would not make it possible, even if we felt disposed to send it out for general distribution. It will be useless, therefore, for Jobbers or Dealers to request quantities of it. LTntil we can reprint them, it will not be possible to fill any further orders for Folder No. 690, entitled "Slave of the Ring," or Card No. 746, showing the picture of Mr. Edison. It will require from four to six weeks' time to print a further edition of these forms. For the benefit of those who do not seem to have read previous notices in the Phonograph Monthly, we beg to say that Forms 535. 54° and 550 are now out of print and cannot be supplied. They will not be reprinted. The same is true of the little book marks, Form 205. In order to have a more up-to-date catalogue for the holiday trade and avoid as far as possible the use of supplements, it has been decided not to get out a new catalogue of Domestic Records until November 1. This will include November Records. Jobbers should bear these facts in mind and not get too heavily stocked up with the present catalogue. None of the November 1 edition will be shipped till the November Records have gone out. Form No. 409, the card in colors, showing a boy with a hatchet "Looking for the Band," is out of print and cannot be supplied to the trade. We would again advise the trade that the booklet on the "Art of Making Phonograph Records" is out of print. A new edition is in preparation, but will not be ready for several weeks. The numbers on Record order sheet C will run out with the December Records. Sheet D will be ready for use in December. One of the handsomest and most effective show-cards that we have had sent us is that recently published by the National Phonograph Co., Ltd. It is an oval portrait of Edison, with the famous trade mark signature underneath, and at top the words "Edison Phonographs and Edison Gold Moulded Records." The background of the card is apparently of mahogany, and the graining of the wood is really wonderfully well imitated. The card is actually of steel, and is nineteen inches by thirteen. — Talking Machine News, London. LOOK OUT FOR BOGUS PARTS. Dealers are cautioned against buying bogus parts for Edison Phonographs, reproducers and records. Order Edison parts and insist upon having them. The difference in cost between Edison parts and imitations is trifling but the difference in quality makes the latter much more expensive in the end, to say nothing of the dissatisfaction of customers who get the inferior parts. STOLEN PHONOGRAPH. F. H. Van Duzer, a Dealer at Port Richmond, Staten Island, N. Y., had a Home Phonograph No. 144854 stolen from his store on the night of September 14. If any Dealer is asked to buy it he should hold the machine and notify Mr. Van Duzer. READ THE MONTHLY. It is to be regretted that many Jobbers and Dealers do not pay sufficient attention to the information given them in these columns. This is especially true of printed matter. Much correspondence could be saved if they would read and remember the information given them, especially that concerning the issuance of new forms of printed matter and also of forms, the editions of which become exhausted.
