THE five Grand Opera Records listed below will be shipped from Orange in time to reach all Jobbers in the United States and Canada before January 28th, 1907, all things being favorable, but they must not be placed on sale by Jobbers or leave their places of business, or be re-shipped to Dealers before 8 A.

Jobbers are required to place orders for these Grand Opera Records on or before December 10th, 1906. Dealers should place orders for these with Jobbers before December 10th to insure prompt and complete shipment when Jobbers' stock is received.

Orders of Jobbers for domestic Record catalogues are now being filled with the new edition, Form No. 1000. This contains all Records listed to and including November, 1906. Only the December supplement is needed to make it complete for holiday trade. It is not our intention this month to get out a special list of Christmas Records. Special lists of this kind are not as a rule successful because many Dealers in smaller places do not have the Records in stock, and cannot meet the demand that the printed matter creates. Beginning with the December issue, the monthly Record supplement will be printed in two colors on the front and one on the back. The front page designs will be unusually artistic. Each will typify the month of issue and all will be of similar style. The December design shows a trio of carol singers of olden times and the colors are red and green, both design and color scheme being appropriate to the Christmas season. We will be glad to mail a muslin sign showing the words "Edison Phonographs and Records" to any Dealer who has not had one. These signs are large and suitable for outdoor or window display, or may be put up on the inside walls of stores. When used for banners over the sidewalk two should be used, placed back to back, so as to read both ways. Two are also needed when used for trans^ parencies. A new edition of the Numerical Catalogue of Records will be issued in January. It will be Form No. 1020 and will have the January Records and all changes in both domestic and foreign lists up to January 1st. In addition to this Numerical Catalogue we shall issue an alphabetical catalogue of domestic Records to and including January. The. latter is a new catalogue with this company. It has frequently been asked for by the trade. It is believed that an alphabetical catalogue of the domestic list will meet every requirement. The foreign list is already arranged alphabetically by languages. Both of these catalogues will be for trade use only. A copy of each will be mailed to every Edison Dealer and we will follow our usual plan of refusing to supply Jobbers with quantities to duplicate this mailing. We shall adhere to the claim that Jobbers only need limited quantities of these catalogues to supply new Dealers and fill the requests of Dealers needing a second copy. Dealers must not use them as copy for ordering Records but should use regular order sheets furnished by us for such purpose.
