EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY.

OUR ILLUMINATED ADVERTISEMENTS.
New Yorkers, and visitors to the Metropolis, will by this time have seen our three enormous illuminated advertisements on the roof of the Hotel Bartholdi, on the corner of
Hotel Bartholdi, viewed from Fifth Avenue Hotel. Broadway and Twenty-third street, and on the roof of the building at the junction of Broadway and Fifth avenue, which is admittedly the most striking spot in the city. Each sign is eighty-five feet long by fifteen feet high. All
Fifth Avenue to the right, Broadway to the left, people coming up Broadway or Fifth avenue or taking the thronged cross-town route along Twenty-third street cannot fail to see the old
Edison Couple and other Edison pictures sitting aloft; and of the hundreds of thousands of transients who pass through New York daily, fully ninety-five per cent, will gaze up at the most costly kind of advertising that exists.

On account of the expense only a few of the great advertising firms use this particular station, which cannot be taken for more than three months. It is controlled by the O. J. Gude Co. We are firmly convinced of the benefit of this publicity, and Dealers will remember that if we preach advertising at them, we also practise what we preach.
BEST AND MOST POPULAR.
I have sold about 200 Edison Phonographs in the last eight months, and expect to sell even more this year. I handle Edison goods only, and find them the most popular machines on the market, and certainly the best. — Friend Music Co., Friend, Neb.
