The talking machine world (Aug-Dec 1919)

August 15 1919 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD 47 from Bridgeport to Bangor Don't forget that New England is a gigantic summer playground, and that dancing was never more popular with summer people than it is today. Emerson dance hits, rendered by the Emerson Military Band, the Emerson Dance Orchestra, and special combinations of talented musicians, furnish the inspiration wherever dancers get together for an evening's "spree." Emerson dance hits, being first on the market, give Emerson dealers an exceptional opportunity to cash in. Our proposition is most attractive. May we tell you about it?

THE TRADE IN BOSTON AND NEW ENGLAND— (Continued from page 46) Mrs. Horning to Camden, N. J., his home city. ■ for a visit. On a Tour of Nova Scotia Ralph Freeman, secretary of the Victor Co., at Camden, N. J., passed through Boston about the middle of July, en route to Nova Scotia, which, if information is correct, is his home province. He was planning to return to business sometime during the current month. He took his car with him, which means that he had fine driving, as the roads are superb. The first of the month witnessed the departure of R. W. Alden, of the Vocalion Co.'s sales staff, for Maine, where he is spending his vacation, accompanied by Mrs. Alden. Reports Very Busy Times Joseph W. Burke, of the Musical Supply & Equipment Co., New England distributors of the Sonora, started on his vacation on July 26, going to Old Point Comfort, Va., where he plans' to spend a good deal of his time on the golf links. Mr. Burke said before leaving town that' although he has been getting three times the goods he has been having much difficulty in keeping up with the demand. During July ship-; ments in carload lots went through direct from factory to dealers, he said. During the absence; of Mr. Burke, R. G. Powers, sales manager, was in charge. The latter plans to start on his vacation the latter part of August. Called on Trade in New England Herbert W. Shoemaker, manager of the wholesale department of the Eastern TalkingMachine Co., spent a week or more late this month on an "acquaintance" trip through his territory, visiting Lowell, Manchester, Haverhill, Lawrence and other New. England cities.. He made the trip in his automobile. Returns From Trip to Alaska W. O. Pardee, president of rhe Pardee-Eilenberger Co., Edison jobbers, returned to his New Haven -headquarters the latter part of July, after a five weeks' trip to Alaska, accompanied by his wife and daughter. A 2,000-mile boat trip from Vancouver, B. C, to Alaska and return was one of the interesting features of Mr. Pardee's trip. Going West, Mr. Pardee traveled by way of Yellowstone Park, and made the return via the Canadian Rockies. F. H. Silliman, vice-president and manager of the Boston headquarters of the PardeeEllenberger Co., reports that dealers appear to be very enthusiastic about the new Edison lines exhibited at the recent Edison convention, and says also that the demand for goods seems to be tremendous. He is anticipating a shortage of goods that probably will become more marked in the near future.
