The talking machine world (Jan-Dec 1906)

34 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD. IT PAYS TO BE ATTENTIVE. Salesman Closes Big Order for Machine and Records by Trying Over Records for a Visitor — When an Annoyance. "A fat old gentleman w.th a prosperous look about him recently came into my store, sat down and took a weli-filled wallet out of his pocket, and extracted therefrom a list of records," said a downtown retailer to The World recently. "Scenting a good sale, I played record after record for him, laying them in a heap as he gave an approving smile alter each one was rendered. When he got to the end of the list he gave me a particularly sweet smile, arose and left without a word of explanation. 1 was rather chagrined and made up my mind that he had played me for all I was worth. To my great surprise, a day or two later he walked in again, accompanied by a footman in livery, and said, 'You can wrap up those records that 1 selected the other day, also the machine you played them upon,' and laid down a bill of three figures. His footman removed them to the carriage in perfect silence, and after receiving his change, walked out without even taking a receipt. The whole transaction so paralyzed me that I never got his name, and up to the present time I have been unable to learn the identity of my mysterious customer. You would be stirprised to see the number of people, particularly of the gentler sex, who come In and request to hear records they have not the slightest idea of purchasing, even when they do not own a machine. They are tired of tramping about the stores, and in order to be amused while they take a rest, pay me a call, and then, after taking up an hour of time, go out without even as much as a word of thanks. If I suggest that they purchase some of the records they either have so many bundles that they cannot carry them, or they have run short of change. This class of shoppers is becoming a nuisance, and I hope some dealer similarly afflicted will suggest a remedy." NEW CATALOGUE OF WIRE RACKS. The Syracuse Wire Works, of Syracuse, N. Y., will have ready for distribution this week their latest catalogue No. Ill, devoted to "The Heise System" of wire racks for all styles of talking machine records. This catalogue illustrates all the various styles and will give net prices to all except talking machine jobbers. ■Like all the literature issued by this house the catalogue will be handsomely gotten up and carefully edited, and will prove of great interest to dealers desirous of adding to the equipment of their stores. The Siegel-Cooper Co., one of the largest department stores in this city, have opened an automatic department in connection with the talking machines. They are for the use of their patrons. Here is a hint to dealers and manufacturers of these devices. SOME RECENT MUSIC.
