The Edison phonograph monthly (Jan-Dec 1908)

Edison Phonograph Monthly, April, 1908 9865 Harry Lauder Medley Edison Military Band The tremendous popularity achieved by the Harry Lauder vocal Records will gain for this medley a wide and heavy sale. It introduces: "Tobermory" (Record No. 19175) ; "We Parted on the Shore" (Record No. 19176) ; "Stop Yer Ticklin! Jock," (Record No. 19179) ; "I Love a Lassie," (Record No. 19178) ; "The Safest o' the Family" (Record No. 19177) ; "She's My Daisy," (Record No. 19174). 5 Selections Made Over We list below five selections that have been made over by the same talent. The June printed matter prepared for retail use will contain these selections. Dealers should replace their stock of the original Records of these numbers with the new ones.

The plan provides for mailing specially printed bulletins direct to Jobbers in every case, and for using the pages of the Phonograph Monthly to furnish the same information to Dealers, following in the latter case the same bulletin form of notification. These bulletins may be issued from any one of several departments, but in each case it will be made clear which department they emanate from. Each department will have its own set of numbers, so that they may be filed separately, or those of one department may be kept and another thrown away if desired. To illustrate the plan: Suppose the sales department wants to advise the entire trade of a change in prices. It will issue "Sales Department Bulletin No. 1," print it especially for Jobbers and mail copies direct to the latter. The same matter will be printed in the Phonograph Monthly, bearing a sales department number. This number may differ from that of the Jobbers' bulletin, because more bulletins are sent to Jobbers than to Dealers. Jobbers are urged to keep separate files for the bulletins of each department. Dealers should carefully watch the pages of the Phonograph Monthly and keep a complete file for future reference. Where, because of tariff conditions, etc., the same bulletin will not apply to Canadian Dealers, a special bulletin will be mailed direct to the latter. Where they do not receive a special bulletin, Canadian Dealers will understand that those printed in the Phonograph Monthly are also addressed to them. Scotch Record Recital In order to introduce to its retail trade the seven Lauder Records, the R. S. Williams & Sons' Co., of Toronto, gave a Scotch recital on February 29th. They made up the following programme of Scotch music and songs, which our readers will admit was an interesting idea: 12876— Blue Bells of Scotland Band 48th Highlanders Band 9325 — Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond SopranoMiss Marie Narrelle 8470— Coming Thro* the Rye PiccoloFrank S.
