The Edison phonograph monthly (Jan-Dec 1912)

10 Edison Phonograph Monthly, March, 1912 March 17th How about a March 17th concert? There is scarcely a town in the United States where there are not enough good Irishmen to make it worth while. Erin's sons are music lovers and they are enthusiastic by nature, but with St. Patrick's Day there always comes a re-awakening of the love of the Emerald Isle. So strike while the iron is hot, and invite a goodly number of them to listen to the old songs on the Edison. For your convenience in arranging a program we print below some of the Irish Records which appear in the Edison list: AMBEROL Asthore, Trotere Reinald Werrenrath Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms, Stevenson, Cornet, Arthur S.

M. Skinner, of Jackson, Mich., was a Phonograph Record of his own voice. Some time before his death he sang Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar," and he requested the same selection at his funeral. Edison Concerts No better method of selling a high-grade Phonograph — or any Phonograph, for that matter— was ever conceived than the concert plan. It brings the public into your store — it educates them to an appreciation of the musical development of the Edison Phonograph — it brings them to a realization of the wonderful entertaining power of the instrument — and it creates a longing to own an instrument that would be such a source of comfort and pleasure in their homes. The Amberola concert plan is being successfully followed by thousands of Dealers all over the country. If other Dealers can gather in the big profits on Amberola sales by this method, why can't you? If you are sceptical of there being a market in your town for the Amberola, start your concerts with a moderate-priced Edison— say a Triumph with Model "O" Reproducer and Music Master Horn — and distribute your Amberola literature among your audience. We warrant that the inquiries you will receive about the instrument will dissipate your scepticism and bring you around to the Amberola idea. The concert plan is the ideal method of selling Amberolas, and the Amberola is the ideal instrument with which to give a concert. Hundreds of other Dealers have proven that to their satisfaction and profit — why, then, should "you" hesitate? Our shipment of March window displays was somewhat delayed and hampered by the moving of this department into a larger and better equipped building. The increasing use of our displays has made such a change necessary, and while it necessitated some temporary delay and inconvenience, it has now placed us in a position to handle shipments much more promptly and satisfactorily in the future. This does not mean, however, that Dealers can put off ordering until the last moment and then expect to receive their "displays on time. It simply permits us to meet promptness on the Dealers' part with equal promptness upon our own. A Phonographic record of the voice of the late Congressman N. D. Sperry is to be reproduced at a meeting of Wooster lodge in the near future. The record was made by Frank C. Tuttle about 15 years ago, and is of a speech made by Mr. Sperry at the 50th anniversary of Wooster lodge. — New Haven Register.
