The Edison phonograph monthly (Mar 1905-Feb 1906)

EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY. 13 AN AGGRESSIVE COMPANY. The Eastern Talking Machine Co., Edison Jobbers at 177 Tremont street, Boston, had a formal opening on October 8th of their remodelled building, to which a two-story addition has just been made, affording 6,000 more square feet of floor space. This company ranks among the leading talking machine firms in the country. When the firm started in Boston at 177 Tremont street, they had 2,000 square feet floor space. At the present time they have 14,000 square feet. Two entire floors have been added, besides the basement, where all the shipping is done. STORE OF THE EASTERN TALKING MACHINE CO., BOSTON. On the first floor is an immense show room for the machines, and an Edison Record stock room. This floor is newly painted and decorated and three new demonstrating rooms for the Edison Records have been added. At the rear is the repair department, completely equipped for repairing all machines, no matter what the make. Skilled workmen are constantly at work on these delicate mechan isms. In the basement all the shipping is carried on and freight received. The surplus stock is stored here also. On the second floor are the offices, including the general and private offices, and the reception room for ladies. This reception room is an entirely new innovation for this sort of a business house. Its purpose is to provide a meeting place for the women patrons, a place where they can wait for a half-hour or so for their friends, and spend the time writing the many social notes necessary to the women of to-day. The room is furnished in a novel manner, three unique models of the combination machine and Record cabinet being shown. These look like the exquisite parlor curio cabinets and are finished in Vernis Martin marquetry and Rookwood and make a very desirable addition to any room. These are the first combination cabinets that have been shown in this part of the country. The reception room has a very attractive view, looking out onto Tremont street and the Common. Attractive hard-wood chairs and ferns make a very pleasant ensemble. On the third floor is the surplus stock and the Record storage. The walls and ceiling of the building are made of fireproof metal.
