The talking machine world (July-Dec 1922)

August 15, 1922 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD 105 FROM OUR CHICAGO HEADQUARTERS— (Continued from page 104) campaign at a conference with salesmen from Baldwin branches all over the United States. If the enthusiasm demonstrated at this conclave is any forecast for the remainder of the year the Baldwin Co. will undoubtedly go through one of the very busiest periods of its existence. Business was the order of the day and every representative of the Baldwin Co. had an opportunity to familiarize himself with the newest features of the Baldwin line of pianos and talking machines. After the meeting the conventionists went out to the Marigold Gardens for a little party, at which time they presented to W. S. Price, the new manager of the Indianapolis division, a beautiful watch as a token of appreciation for his excellent work in behalf of Baldwin in his territory. "Buck" Wheat Visits "Buck" Wheat, of William H. Reynalds, Victor wholesaler, of Mobile, Ala., recently spent a two weeks' vacation in Chicago. The vacation was really a home-coming, as Mr. Wheat spent nearly all of his time visiting with his folks of this city. This is the first time in nearly two years since he has visited Chicago. Another Southern Victor man to visit Chicago during the latter part of July was J. D Moore, of Maison Blanche, of New Orleans, La., who came on a buying trip, and while here called on many of his friends in the trade. A Progressive North Side Dealer One of the most progressive dealers on the North Side of Chicago is Carter B. Cordner, owner of the Symphony Music Co., 1020 Wilson avenue. Although limited for space he has his shop arranged in a most attractive and tasty manner. The service he renders the public is another item not overlooked. A complete stock of Columbia records is always kept and his display of period model Grafonolas is probably the most extensive in the city. His window displays, which are always of a high grade, embody ideas and suggestions that call for the unusual, practically always in colors and carry a sales message to the pedestrian in a most unique manner. Mr. Cordner has returned from his vacation at Eau Claire, Wis. Fine Business With Hall Mfg. Co. When F. D. Hall, of the Hall Mfg. Co., returned to Chicago early in the month from his Western trip he immediately paid a visit to headquarters, where he received a very pleasant surprise at the hands of H. J. Fiddelke. The surprise was none other than a complete report of the inventory disclosures for the fiscal year which ended in June. The reports show that business consummated by the Hall Mfg. Co., from June, 1921, to June, 1922, was far in excess of what had been anticipated. In fact, almost double that of the preceding year. The outlook for the coming year is very promising. Mr. Fiddelke hopes to see greater production than ever before in the history of the country. Mr. Fiddelke is one of the few men in Chicago who will not make a visit to the seashore or countryside for a two weeks' vacation rest. It is true that he will have a vacation, but his rest will consist of more work. He is building a home out in the Beverly Hills district in the southern part of Chicago and he intends to spend his vacation with a hammer and saw, helping the good work along. L. C. Wiswell Vacationing L. C. Wiswell, manager of the wholesale Victor department of Lyon & Healy, left Chicago on the 24th for his vacation. Accompanied by his family he motored to his Summer home at Belvidere Beach, near South Haven, Mich. Otto Heineman Visits Chicago Otto Heineman, president and general manager of the General Phonograph Corp., spent a week in Chicago during the month of July. Accompanied by S. A.

Central Ave. CHICAGO Heineman spent quite a bit of time calling on the local trade in Chicago and Milwaukee. Mr. Heineman then left for St. Louis and other points in the Central West. After his visit to this territory he returned to New York, stopping (Continued on page 106) T + Announcing the Uradiola Line of De Luxe Radio Receivers The General Radio Laboratories handle only tried and tested radio apparatus. Following this policy, we have adopted the URADIOLA line of DE LUXE radio receivers and are now offering to the dealer a line of apparatus which will move fast, bring in returns, and sell itself on its own merits (two models illustrated). In appearance, any URADIOLA model, from the URADIOGRAND to the series AI Tuner and Audion Detector, rank among the finest in harmonizing with home appointments. The cabinet work is unexcelled. A genuine hand-rubbed piano finish gives the instruments that touch which appeals to the particular buyer — the man who knows how to judge good furniture. For the man who knows radio, all that is necessary is to show Series B2 him the inside. The buss-bar wiring, bakelite sockets, breakdown tested transformers and change-over inductance (for waves up to 10,000 meters) have been built into the apparatus by radio engineers of long standing. Waves up to 10,000 meters are received with this instrument, giving a broad range should the broadcasting wave lengths be increased. This is of untold value to the buyer. The manufacturers of the set state that the daylight range of the receivers is about 500 miles, while at night this range is more than doubled. Models not shown are AI Tuner and Audion Detector, Series C3; Tuner Audion Detector with Two-Step Amplifier, and Two-Step Amplifier alone. We are also distributors for the super-sensitive Red Star radiophone head sets and Non-Leak variable condensers. Head sets come in 2000, 2400 and 3200 ohms resistances. Condensers are made in 14 plate. 22 plate, 44 plate and 64 plate sizes. Manufactured with or without vernier adjustment. These two pieces of "Quality Radio" apparatus are symbolical of our entire line and are fast sellers. Cool weather is coming, with long evenings indoors, when the demand for radio sets will again be beyond the capacity of the output. Are you ready for this demand 1 "SSSr General Radio Laboratories Dealers and jobbers, write for catalog, discounts and in formation. We positively do not retail. 7 So.
