SIX MONTHS' PROGRESS
SIX MONTHS' PROSPECTS
JUST six months ago — December 9th — since the Edison fire! Not a day has been lost in the wonderful progress forward ! The aspect of the Edison plant today is full of assurance to every Edison man, whether at home or in the field. We said at the time, that December 9th marked the date when a new and greater Edison plant would arise from the smouldering ashes. BEHOLD ITS REALIZATION TODAY! Whichever way one's eye turns he sees a solidly reconstructed plant. The buildings, both in their interiors and exteriors, stand for thoroughness and solidity. Manufacturing conditions are nearing the ideal. We shall soon have the balance of our machinery back again under vastly superior advantages. So much for the six months' progress.
And now, a look, forward! Mr. C. H. Wilson, our Vice-President and General Manager, returned a few days ago from a Western trip. Here is how things impress him :
"Prospects were never better than they are at present. Our business is certainly going to be greater this year than in any previous year in the history of the Company. Our manufacturing facilities are now in excellent condition and we are turning out more goods
than we did before the fire in December. We are making material increases in our RecordManufacturing Department and plan to have by September the output DOUBLE what it is at present.
"It is an interesting fact that in spite of business conditions which exist in almost all industries, our business is keeping up to the figure it is; and yet during periods of business depression in the past the same condition has applied. For some reason people continue to buy phonographs in spite of so-called hard times. I must say that I have never been so optimistic regarding the outlook for our business as I am at present."
It is none too early right now to lay your plans for a big Edison business in coming months. If you have been on the fence, it's time to get over and get down. We are optimistic; we're going ahead, and with improved facilities are making ready for your enterprise when you call for the goods.
Away with any half-hearted prospects! It's to be the biggest Edison year yet! Take our cue now and work with us.
Let every Edison jobber and dealer get into the clear light and confidently plan for the coming months. WE TAKE THE LEAD: WE ALSO BACK YOU UP!
