The talking machine world (Aug-Dec 1919)

22 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD September 15, 1919 CARRIES COMPLETE HEINEMAN LINE San Francisco Offices of Otto Heineman Phonograph Supply Co. in Good Shape to Supply Repair Departments of Manufacturers The San Francisco offices of the Otto Heineman Phonograph Supply Co. Inc., have become the meeting place for out-of-town manufacturers and jobbers, who have come to the conclusion that if there is anything new in the phonograph line L. Gruen, Pacific Coast manager of the Heineman industries, will be sure to be the first one to have it. Aside from the fact that the Heineman offices are kept very busy demonstrating OkeH records to people who have become interested in the excellent qualities of this record, the phonograph manufacturers along the Coast who are interested in the latest tone arm combinations in the Heineman and Meisselbach products are co-operating with Mr. Gruen in securing the tone arms and sound boxes best suited for their machines. The Heineman Pacific Coast division now carries a stock of Heineman and Meisselbach products, and this has enabled the manufacturers and jobbers along the Coast to place their repair departments on a profitable basis. In the past these departments frequently showed a loss, due to the fact that certain repair work could not be accepted because deliveries of repair parts took from two to three months.
