The agitation for a sane Fourth is spreading rapidly and may have reached your town. Help it along by giving an Edison concert in your store on that day. A few cheap flags and a little bunting, or colored paper, will dress up your store sufficiently to attract attention. Don't forget that the Blue Amberols fit very well into the color scheme on such an occasion — use them liberally in your decorations. We suggest the following Blue Amberol Records as being particularly appropriate to the day: "Belle of New York March and 2d Regt. Conn. N. G. March" New York Military Band "Dixie" New York Military Band Finch's "The Blue and the Grey" Recitation "Home Sweet Home" Eleonora de Cisneros "Just Before the Battle, Mother" Oakland and Chorus "Lincoln's Speech at Gettysburg" Recitation "Manhattan Beach and El Capitan Marches" Sousa's Band "Medley of War Songs" New York Military Band "Ride of the Thuringia Hussars" U. S. Marine Band "Spirit of Independence March" New York Military Band "Washington's Farwell Address" Recitation No. 1638 No. 1648 No. 1653 No. 28145 No. Xo. 1516 1651 No. 1711 No. 1574 No. 1729 No. 1612 No. 1654 These might form a nucleus of your program which would doubtless include a few of the latest Broadway hits. Why not have some home recording-literature in evidence and have one of your machines prepared for demonstrating th^ Record-making possibilities of the Edison. Lead the conversation into that topic and make a Record yourself. Then, ask if any one of your visitors would like to try it; but don't urge any one who seems embarrassed at the idea of performing before strangers. That is almost sure to do more harm than good. Either you or your clerks should make a note of those who seem most interested by the concert or the home recording and, as far as possible, keep track of the kind of selections which please them most. Then, in a week or so, write them a letter telling them that you have several excellent selections which you are sure they would be interested in hearing. Name a few Records of the same kind as those to which they were partial. Tell them that if they will step into your store at such and such a time you will be glad to play these Records for them, or, if more convenient for them, you will gladly bring an Edison and the selections named to their home any evening that they might suggest. If they seemed particularly interested in home recording, take a recorder and a couple of blanks with you. Keep that feature well in the foreground all the time. Remember that it is one of the best talking points that you have. " You Can't Play Every Instrument in the Orchestra" is going to be a winner.
