New London factories have been operating on a nine-hour working schedule for some time and this will be continued throughout the Fall and Winter months in order to meet the heavy demands for stock and finished cases. G. F. Ruez on Important Mission George F. Ruez, president of the Badger Talking Machine Co., Victor jobber, accompanied a delegation of twenty-five leading business men as representatives of the Milwaukee Association of Commerce on a journey across Lake Michigan to Muskegon, Mich., to be guests of the local Chamber of Commerce. Milwaukee and Muskegon at present are developing a very important traffic arrangement, whereby the Michigan port, gateway to the East by lake, will become even a greater outlet for Milwaukee and Wisconsin manufactures. Expect Big Kimball Sales Kimball phonograph sales by the Lyric Music Co., factory distributor in Milwaukee and vicinity, have established new high marks so far this year and J. Roussellot, president and general manager, says there is no question that holiday trade will be the biggest ever known, depending upon the ability of the factory to supply the necessary number of instruments. Edison Dealers Optimistic Edison dealers throughout this territory speak with the greatest of confidence concerning trade prospects for the remainder of the year. They are entering the last and most fruitful lap of the year with a record of achievement in sales that goes beyond anything ever known. Cheney Favor Growing The Cheney has been kept conspicuous in Milwaukee by Edmund Gram, Inc., and these instruments are making their way into more and more of the wealthier homes, as well as those owned by people of more modest circumstances. Period Vocalions Popular The Vocalion is a big seller in Milwaukee and vicinity and the art period styles are causing especially favorable comment. The J. B. Bradford Piano Co. has effected a number of sales of art styles running well into four figures and the owners, all prominent and representative families, have been responsible for numerous additional sales. NEW ASTORIA MUSIC HOUSE A new talking machine shop has been opened at 153 Main street, Astoria, L. L, by Thomas H. Cabasino, who has been engaged in the talking machine business for the past eight years. Brunswick phonographs, pianos, sheet music, etc., are handled. Among those present at the formal opening was H. L. Obert, of the New York branch of the Brunswick Co. Thorson & Anderson, Victor dealers, Wahoo, Neb., have remodeled their store and removed the Victor department to the front of the establishment. Wayne Lorenz, who was formerly with R. B. Hetzel, Harlan, la., has been placed in charge. We have no monopoly on virtue in merchandise — BUT — we manufacture a supreme phonograph at a knock-out price. Write for open territory.
