EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY, SEPT., 1914
161
THE STILLER PHOTO SUPPLY CO., GREEN BAY, WISC.
Perhaps next to Milwaukee, Green Bay, claims the most varied and extensive stock of Edison Phonographs in the whole state, and to the Stiller Photo Supply Co. belongs this distinction. Modern facilities are in use throughout their store and as both cylinder and disc Edisons are displayed, the trade is very brisk and satisfactory. The able salesforce is simply backed by some clever effective local advertising. They have done some effective canvassing also, particularly among the clubs and lodges.
EDISON CABINETS WELL MADE
TO STAND SUCH TESTS
AS THESE
OUR representative, Robert C. Peak writes: — "My train from Boston to Burlington Sunday night went into the ditch at Randolph, Vt., and delayed me all day Monday. My sleeper stayed on the rail, so all I got was a scare and a chance to see some excitement. My A250 machine was in the express car which went end over end into the White River, thirty feet below. This machine was delivered to me next day in perfect condition. The traveling case got some knocks but the machine itself was unhurt. How is that for careful packing? I think this speaks well for both motor and cabinet."
The Texas-Oklahoma Phonograph Co., Inc., Fort Worth, Texas, write us: — "In compliment to the rigidity and strength of the Edison cabinet, we would like to offer the following: A transfer company of this city were transporting a Model A250 from a dealer's place of business to a customer's home, when a runaway coming down a cross street, collided with the transfer company's vehicle, and the Edison instrument was thrown therefrom, alighting squarely on its top and bouncing from that position to the back, it is remarkable that but slight damage was done, the corners of the top or lid to the instrument were spread and one perpendicular seam in the back was also spread a matter of a half inch, which constituted practically the entire damage. This accident occurred on a paved street. The motor of the instrument was thrown quite some distance into the street from its natural position in the instrument, and was not damaged in the least, as a matter of fact the motor was quietly running when picked up. It has been decided that the necessary repairs could be accomplished by a cabinetmaker in this town, and we do not believe that it will be necessary to secure a new cabinet as at first was thought desirable."
Says a merchant of wide experience: The successful selling forces of to-day are made up of men who can think and who do think, and men who can be relied upon to do the right things at the right time; men who are always capable of taking advantage of an}' situation that may arise.
