20 Edison Phonograph Monthly, Nov. , 1908
on the organ, Hezekiah reminds her that he gave her the book just before they were married, years ago. Then follows an exchange of sentiment, and they live over again the day of their marriage. It is a Record similar to "The Golden Wedding," by the same artists, which made such a hit on the two-minute Record. Original sketch and not published.
70 Grand American Fantasia New York Military Band
A tone picture of the North and South and a great favorite with the leading bands of the country.

These are given in the following order: "Yankee Doodle," "Maryland, My Maryland'" "Old Zip Coon," "Tenting To-night on the Old Campground," "Dixie," "Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground" and "The Star Spangled Banner."

Home Made Window Signs
The suggestions made in these pages for the past three months about the use of home-made window cards, have induced many Dealers to make and exhibit cards of this kind, and they are greatly pleased with the publicity they give them. F. M. Atwood, Edison Jobber at Memphis, Tenn., has worked out some cards of his own, and in inclosing two of them, said:
I am enclosing you copies herewith two original
show cards, which have attracted considerable attention in my windows. The one in regard to the "Two Bills" is displayed with one of your hangers of them on each side. This is the first time I have tried the roughly printed show cards, and am almost convinced they attract more attention than the artistic kind.
We print below, reproductions of the two cards Mr. Atwood sent in, just to show how simple the cards are:

How One Dealer's Business Grew
"It is with considerable pride that I call your attention to my business, which has been established now five years," writes Fred Becht, Jr., of 19 Alabama avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. "When I began, my stock was about the usual one that the uninitiated start with. At the present time I carry the complete domestic list, as well as all the German selections, both vocal and instrumental, also British, Cuban, and Mexican instrumental Records. The space I occupied at the start was not more than 25 x 20. At the present time my business has grown with such rapidity that it was necessary to extend same, so alterations on my building have just been completed, and I have, at least for the present, ample space
to handle my rapidly growing business. It has always been a source of pleasure to me, as well as profit, in handling your product.
It is never a difficult task to impress the prospective customer with the superiority of your machines and Records and attending the demands of regular trade is easy indeed, when your stock is complete and you are thoroughly familiar with it.
That has helped me build up the business that I am proud of, and my success is further aided by the broad and generous principles as you apply them. Accept my wishes for long and continuous successful business. May the Edison lead them all always.
If you are one of the Dealers who have neglected to sign the Addenda, don't delay signing it any longer.
