The photograph at the left represents what we believe to be the best filing system ever devised for phonograph records.
The outstanding feature of the device is a record cover which shows complete information for each record so that it immediately may be located without reference to any card file or other cross index.
The record cover is folded so that there is a space one-sixth inch wide and 10 inches long aiong the top edge of the folder.
In this space the data from the label of the record is printed : recording group, names of tunes, label and number.
When the appropriate records are inserted in the folders and the folders placed side by side, a neat and concise tabulation is formed to show the exact location of each record.

In using the record cabinet pictured at the left, the information on the record covers is seen through the plexi-glass top cover of the cabinet. In making a selection, the record is pulled out from the right side of the box and the record folder is left in place. Consequendy, there is no wear and tear on the record folder; and it is virtually impossible for a record to become misfiled.
These record folders are ideal not only for small collections of 50 to 100 records but for the largest collections as well. Pictured below is part of the collection of Dr. Thomas A. Williston of Washington, D. C. These record folders were installed for his entire collection in 194 1 shortly before paper rationing forced us to postpone production. They have been in continuous service ever since and after six years they show no sign of deterioradon.

Three years ago we sent a record cabinet exactly like the one pictured on the opposite page to Arnold Gingrich, editor of Esquire Magazine. In his letter of April 17, 1944, he stated:
"I'm tickled pink with the classification cabinet. This is the most ingenious thing of its kind I have ever seen."
