The Okeh-Odeon lines of records are winning wider recognition, due in large measure to the electrical process of recording. The Odeon records are responsible for the lines being taken on by an increasingly large number of prestige accounts throughout the Eastern section. Italian and Race Okeh records are in especial demand at this time. During November the New York distributing division led all wholesalers of Odeon records, the 3,000 and the 5,000 series, in the United States. The Vincennes line of phonographs, the distribution of which was taken on some time ago by the Okeh New York organization, is being well received by the trade. Clever Broadcasting Tie-up For some time the Atwater Kent Mfg. Co. has provided its dealers with an effective tie-up with the Atwater Kent program broadcast each Sunday evening in the form of advance programs furnished at cost which dealers mail to customers.
