MANY SONORA VISITORS The executive offices of the Sonora Phonograph Sales Co., Inc., were visited this week by quite a number of the company's jobbers who are attending the annual convention of the National Wholesale Druggists' Association, and who took advantage of this opportunity to visit Sonora headquarters and make a unanimous plea for immediate carload shipments of Sonora phonographs. Among these callers were H. E. Hillman, of Wheeling, W. Va.; Fred E. Yahr, treasurer of the Yahr & Lange Drug Co., Milwaukee, Wis.; Sewall D. Andrews, of the Minneapolis Drug Co., Minneapolis, Minn.; G. B. Moxley, of the Kiefer-Stewart Co., Indianapolis, Ind., and Chas. Gibson and Nelson P. Snow, of the Gibson-Snow Co., at Syracuse, N. Y. All of these callers spoke most encouragingly of the business situation in their respective territories, stating that their sales of Sonora machines were limited only by the available supply of merchandise. They are all looking forward to a banner fall and holiday business, and, in a conference with the Sonora executives, emphasized the fact that they needed large shipments of instruments in order to cope with this demand.

Cincinnati, O., October 7. — The music-withmeals idea is now being supplanted by the music-with-work theory, which a local dry cleaning establishment is putting into practical effect. This enterprising . firm has installed throughout its factory enough phonographs to provide lively entertainment the whole day long. It is a pleasant way of saying "speed up" and has the desired effect on the workers who have taken to the new idea with great zest. The idea has been tried out with success elsewhere.
