EDISON PHONOGRAPH MONTHLY, MARCH, 1915

AN IDEAL EDISON SHIPPING CASE
HEREWITH we show two sides of our new shipping case, made out of re-inforced veneer, and embellished on all four sides with appropriate signs. This veneer is printed on a special printing press, before being made into a case. We feel quite confident this new case will meet with universal approval. It is strong, it is light, it is good looking and, best of all, it is quite water proof. It proved its value in the recent fire of Pardee-Ellenberger, Boston, where, notwithstanding the deluge of water from the fire hose, many of the Edison cabinets in their cases were only slightly hurt.
It will not be necessary to break up the case in order to remove the Edison instrument. One side is plainly marked "cover" and can be readily removed. Every dealer will consult his own interests to preserve these shipping cases, even if he can deliver the instrument to a local address without them. He will need them sometime unexpectedly and a case not now in use should be regarded as "stock in trade." Keep your reserve stock in these cases. Keep the cases as perfect as possible, by careful handling.
Not all instruments will be shipped in these cases, as we still have many cabinets all boxed in the former shipping case style. But these new cases will come now into general use as additional cases are needed — only another evidence of Edison care to provide the best that can be had!
BE PARTICULAR IN ORDERING MAIN SPRINGS
The following complete list of main springs in use June 1, 1914, is given for the convenience of the trade, so as to facilitate the filling of orders. For instance, it is not enough to say, "Send me main spring for Amberola X." There are three different springs for Amberola X, as will be seen by reference to the list below. Be explicit and say which particular one you wish. So with all the rest of the list. This care in ordering will greatly facilitate shipping, for if you order correctly the first time we can ship at once and you will get the spring needed. Otherwise correspondence will ensue and time will be lost.

EDISON TONE MODULATOR AND EDISON FILING EQUIPMENT
AS is quite generally understood by the trade the Edison Tone Modulator is a device for modifying, at one's pleasure, the volume of sound. It is very simple, of few parts, and easily applied to models A150, A200, A250 and upwards. All these styles of Disc machines leaving the factory since August 31st are equipped with both the Tone Modulator and the Filing Equipment described below. But dealers who wish to attach the device to any of these models in their stock may obtain them at the price quoted below. It is important to state for what particular model you desire the Tone Modulator, since we make them in three slightly different dimensions to fit the respective machines.
The Filing Equipment, consists of fifty dividing cards for each drawer, numbered consecutively from 1 to 50 — the odd numbers on the left and the even numbers on the right. A ruled silicate board index card is provided
