The Searchlight Horn Co., whose artistic announcement in last month's World attracted such widespread commendation, are again in evidence with another illustration of their horn which has won a tremendous vogue, judging from the way orders are coming in. The jobbers handling this specialty are receiving not only orders day after day, but appreciative words for this handsome creation. In fact, not only are inquiries reaching the manufacturers from all sections of the United States, but foreign countries have cabled asking for "rights." For instance, the Gramophone Co., of London, cabled at once, after the receipt of the last World, asking for "rights" for Great Britain, and negotiations are now under way. Perhaps nothing ever produced in the talking machine trade has made such a hit as the Searchlight horn, and those jobbers who have not investigated its merits will doubtless find occasion to call on the New York jobbers, the Douglas Phonograph Co., 89 Chambers street, during their visit to the city. Henry B. Babson, president of the Universal Talking Machine Co., left New York for a hurried trip to Toronto, Can., Tuesday of last week, coming back Friday. The object of the journey was to establish a new exclusive Zonophone jobbing agency for the Dominion, R. S. Williams & Sons Co., Ltd., having relinquished the connection. There is always a lull in the summer months, although many dealers and jobbers report a good demand for records particularly adapted to the vacation period. The American Record Co., of Springfield, Mass., are making a specialty of certain selections of the famous "Indians" for outdoor work. They consist of quartettes, duets, minstrel selections and several pleasing orchestral numbers for dancing. The Universal Talking Machine Manufacturing Co., New York, recently received one of the largest orders for machines and records from Buenos Ayres, A. R., ever sent to the States. It will keep their factory running full up for a while. SyrsLCuse Wire Record RdLcks. A Money Maker for the jobber who sells them. A Money Saver for both the jobber and dealer who uses them.
