EDISON DISC JOBBERS' ANNUAL MEETING TFIE first annual meeting of the Edison Disc Jobbers' Association was held Monday, February 8th, at Knickerbocker Hotel, New York, and was characterized by the greatest enthusiasm. The members all expressed themselves well pleased with the year's results and an atmosphere of the greatest optimism prevailed. Of the forty members there were only two absent, one of these being located in Texas, and the other in Vancouver, Canada. The members attending came from all parts of the country, including the Pacific Coast and also Canada. The fact that many were obliged to travel many hundreds of miles to attend the meetings was a clear indication of the interest taken. At the meeting Feb. 8 there was an informal address by H. H. Blish, of Des Moines, la., the retiring President. The following officers for the coming year were elected: President, W. O. Pardee, of Pardee-Ellenberger Co., New Haven, Conn.; vice-president, B. W. Smith, of the Phonograph Co., Cleveland, O.; Secretary, H. G. Stanton, of the R. S. Williams Co., Toronto, Canada; Treasurer, L. H. Lucker, of Minneapolis, Minn. In addition to these officers, the Advisory Board for the coming year includes C. E. Goodwin, of the Phonograph Co., Chicago, Mr. Haynes, of the Haynes Music Co., Richmond, Va., and H. H. Blish, of Des Moines, la., who were elected at the meeting. On Tuesday evening the members of the Association were entertained at dinner at Sherry's, and following the dinner they were the guests of the Edison Company at the theatre. A resolution of congratulations to Mr. Edison was passed and a magnificent bouquet of American Beauty roses were presented to him Wednesday, the 11th of February, on the occasion of his birthday anniversary. The members were greatly pleased to note the progress which has been made in getting the plant into working order again after the fire. They were well satisfied with the manner in which the departments have been reorganized. WELL PLEASED WITH THE EDISON DISC A-80 I am pleased to say that A-80 has given me perfect satisfaction. I was afraid when I got it, that the belt drive would not give an entirely uniform speed, but there has not been the slightest trouble from this source, and I have used it every day, and several hours at a time on many days. "It has been my lot to run the higher priced models for the local agent here, many times, and while I would not say that they are not worth the additional cost, yet I can honestly and stoutly maintain, that the A-80 is abundantly able to give satisfaction to the most erratic musical temperament, and that one who feels that $80 is all he can afford to pay is losing a great deal every day that he puts off purchasing this model in the hope of sometimes getting a better one. — E.

THE EDISON WINS AGAIN IN COMPETITION " T T TE have just succeeded in closing one of the \\ 'nicest little' sales that have been put through in this vicinity for some time. For the past two weeks, I have been in direct competition with the new electric in the Entre Nous Club, one of the oldest Clubs in this vicinity, and a club which draws its membership from every walk of life. On last Thursday evening a meeting was held to determine which instrument would be purchased, the $250.00 Edison, or the $250.00 . The votes stood 46 for the Edison, three for the . How is that?" liarrison-Wescott Pharmacy, Richmond, Ind.
