EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY.
13
Phonograph Store of Schaff Bros. Co., Huntington, Ind.
A YOUTHFUL SALESMAN.
We present herewith the picture of the young son of S. H. Leath, an aggressive Edison Dealer at Attica, Ind. Master Leath was three years old when this picture was taken.
His father states that he can operate a Phonograph and can tell customers when a Record is good and when it is not. He quite frequently helps out in the store, especially when ladies call for Records. His age makes him one of the attractions of the place.
INMATES WOULDN'T PART WITH IT.
We are now advertising the fact that we carry every Record in stock in the Edison Catalogue, and find that our sales have increased over 500 per cent. We have fitted the rear end of our double store with the new improved
wire racks and they are filled with over 2,000 Edison Gold Moulded Records. We also have a large counter with one each size Edison Phonograph in line, from the $10 machine up, so you can hear $10, $20, or $30 music. It is evident that the Phonograph is made for all classes of people, as we had occasion to place one on trial at the Monteville Hospital to see what effect it would have on the inmates. The result was very surprising, as they were the most dissatisfied lot of people imaginable, when we offered to take it away. As a result the superintendent recommended that the machine be bought. We closed the sale at once, and now an Edison Phonograph calms the feelings of a large number of inmates of this hospital. By keeping the Phonograph going all day, and giving free concerts, we sell a large number of machines and Records, and expect to double all sales this year. — Shipley & Bopst> Frederick, Md.
A RETAIL SALE OF SIXTEEN DOZEN RECORDS.
Stamford, Conn., February 2. 1906. I think I can report the largest sale of Edison Records to one man, taken at one time and without playing one of them. That was yesterday, when we sole! to one of our wellto-do citizens sixteen dozen new Edison Records and three 72-peg carrying cases. Can anyone better that sale? F. C. Parsons.
ALWAYS RECOMMEND THE EDISON.
We have increased our stock of Talking Machines, and Records, Horns and Supplies, 'till we now have the largest and most complete line of talking machine goods in New Hampshire. We carry all makes in stock, but always recommend the Edison as best in every way. Edison machines in four styles, each the best value for the money in the world. The Gem, $10; the Standard, $20; the Home, $30; the Triumph, $50. New styles, great improvements and best results. Loudest, clearest and most natural records in the world are the Edison Gold Moulded Records. — Extract from advertisement of the J. E. Lothrop Piano Co., Dover, N. H.
