Sung in Italian. Orchestra accompaniment. One of the most discouraging things to the owner of a good talking machine is the difficulty frequently experienced in certain quarters in obtaining the records desired. After spending possibly an hour or more picking out a list of desirable records from among the thousands of titles offered in the catalogue it is not pleasant to try the records sent as filling the order and find that a ragtime duet of obscure origin has been substituted for a quartette rendering of "Asleep in the Deep" or the "Arkansas Traveler" as a violin solo be sent, instead of an operatic selection. A reasonable man will insert several extra numbers in his order to allow for possible shortage in some of the records chosen, but if it is found impossible to fill even this supplementary list the customer should be so informed and not supplied with records that are of no use to him. We know of one instance where a customer got only five records out of a list of over two dozen that he selected, and the balance of the list was filled in with records that were directly opposite in character to the ones desired. The result was that thereafter he sent to another city for his records, thus depriving his home dealer of considerable business. It is more important to cultivate the customer and keep his business, even although only a few records are supplied at a time than to flood him with undesirable records once and stop his patronage. The best plan of all, however, is to carry as complete a line of records as possible and fill all the order. The increased outlay will mean a greatly increased profit. Formerly an exclusive Edison jobber, W. D. Myers, Williamsport, Pa., has put in a disc line, handling the Zonophone goods on an extensive scale.
