The talking machine world (July-Dec 1920)

November 15, 1920 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD 75 "PEERLESS BIG TEN" PLEASES New Improved Type of Record Album Appears to Meet a Long-Felt Want Phil Ravis, president of the Peerless Album Co., with executive offices at 49 Bleecker street, New York, and factories in New York and Chicago, recently stated to a representative of The World' that their new album, known as -the "Peerless Big Ten," has met with widespread approval by the manufacturers, distributors and dealers in the Middle West, who have ordered liberally of this new product. The results so far obtained have shown that time spent in developing this innovation in record albums is to be rewarded. The new style record album has been designed to provide for the uniform outside appearance of ten and twelve inch record albumns, while the interiors are arranged for the purpose of handling one particular size. In the past the rule has been for manufacturers to equip cabinet phonographs with record albums of twelve inch size, and while the ten inch record would of course slip into the envelopes designed for the twelve inch size, the smaller records would not fit and the effect would not tend toward neatness or convenience. The Peerless "Big Ten" album for ten inch records has the same outside dimensions as the twelve inch record album, but the compartments inside are designed to hold the ten inch records firmly and securely. The production of the new album meant considerable experimenting, and the installation of much new machinery in the factory. These albums are also produced in sets, lettered in gold on the back from "A to G" and from "A to H." Each set consists of five "Peerless Big Ten" to hold ten inch records and the balance regular twelve inch ibooks, making an ideal equipment for flat shelf cabinet machines. WILL CONCENTRATE ON SONORA The sales division of the Sonora Phonograph Co. was advised recently by the C. W. Fischer Furniture Co., of Milwaukee, that it had decided to concentrate on the Sonora line exclusively in the future. This concern had hitherto handled several lines of talking machines. The C. W. Fischer Furniture Co. is one of the leading retail furniture houses in Milwaukee, and is located in the leading business section of the city. A gigantic Sonora advertisement on the wall of the Fischer store attracts the attention of thousand's daily, and this sign is one of the links in the intensive advertising campaign that has been introduced by this dealer in behalf of Sonora product. J. W. BOOTHE TELLS OF PROGRESS Los Angeles, Cal., November 2. — J. W. Boothe, general manager of the music department of Barker Bros., returned last week from an auto trip through the San Joaquin Valley to San Francisco. Mr. Boothe visited the Fresno branch, where he found business in first-class shape. He was much impressed by the excellent progress made by the Emerson phonograph and records all through the country, as well as in San Francisco. The Emerson phonograph was recently awarded first prize at the Fresno Exposition.
