The talking machine world (Jan-Dec 1908)

THE TALKING MACHIKE WORLD. GRAPHOPHONES ON NEW CRUISER. "North Carolina" Recently Placed in Commission Equipped With Two Columbia Machines and Liberal Supply of Records — Popular Entertainers in the Navy. One of the latest United States cruisers, the "North Carolina," recently placed in commission, has just added two BD graphophones and a sup from the naval academy. The midshipmen have this opportunity to study the manoeuvering of a big warship under actual seafaring conditions, and this training will put a finish to the book learning the youthful naval officers have already acquired in the course at the Academy. The day before she sailed, a committee from the "North Carolina" visited the Baltimore store of the Columbia Phonograph Co. and purchased two BD graphophones and a large supply of records. . In a chat with a member of the Columbia Co. the other day, he said: "If there is any place where the merit of the Columbia graphophone is known and appreciated, it is in the United States Navy. Almost every large ship has one or more graphophones and a large stock of records. It is safe to say that there is over a score or more of Columbia graphopnones on our fleet now in the Pacific." U. S. S. ■•■-N'OKXH CAROI.IN.\. ply of Columbia records to its equipment. This cruiser has a displacement of 14,500 tons and a speed of 22 knots. It represents perhaps the highest development of the armored cruiser. Her crew consists of 600 men, and she is armed with four 10-inch guns, sixteen 6-inch guns, twentytwo 3-inch, twelve 3-pounders, fourteen small guns and four 21-inch torpedo tubes. Her armor protection is especially heavy for a boat of this type: belt, 5 inches; turrets, 9 inches to 5 inches; barbettes, 7 inches to 4 inches; deck, 4 inches to 1% inches. The "North Carolina" sailed from Annapolis June 9 for a long practice cruise in Cuban waters, loaded down with midshipmen just graduated NEW INDESTRUCTIBLE JOBBERS In Widely Separated Sections, Canada and Tennessee, Carry on Progressive Campaign. We have just received information from Albany, N. Y., that the Indestructible Phonographic Record Co. have taken on two new jobbers during the past month. One is the Assiniboa Music Co., of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. This shows the far-reaching business methods of the Indestructible Co., and we have no doubt but that the Indestructible records will meet with a hearty welcome in this more or less remote locality. As is probably known, the winters in Alberta are very severe, whereas the summer is short and inclined to be hot. This is a very rigid test, climatically, for the Indestructible records, but they are peculiarly adapted to use in localities of this nature, since they are "climatic proof." The Assiniboa Music Co. do a large music business in their locality and are thoroughly progressive and have several traveling men on the road. The other jobber is F. M. Atwood, 123 Monroe avenue, Memphis, Tenn. This is a case where e.xtremes come together. These two firms are certainly remotely distant from one another and show the wide distribution and popularity which Indestructible records are gaining every day. F. M. Atwood is very well known to the Southern talking machine trade and he has many novel ideas for pushing the sale of Indestructible records in his territory. The plan is to carry on a thoroughly progressive campaign. As everyone knows, business is every year picking up more and more in the South and many business men throughout the country will profit by the example of their Southern brothers. -Mr. Atwood has the oldest talking machine house in Memphis -and is one of the "livest" jobbers to be found anywhere in this country. THE PITTSBTJEG CAMEEAPHONE CO. The Greater Pittsburg Cameraphone Co., Pittsburg, Pa., have been incorporated under the laws of Arizona, with headquarters given as Phoenix, for the purpose of exhibiting the talking pictures produced by that certain combination of machines known as the "Cameraphone" and of leasing, erecting or otherwise procuring desirable quarters and all appurtenances necessary for the carrying on of the business of exhibiting the talking pictures. Capital stock, $10,000. Incorporators: E. G. Thomas, W. J. Davis, and W. P. Dunham. A. E. Day, of Lincoln, Neb., has bought the talking machine, piano and organ stock of Gourley Bros., in that city, and will conduct the business at the same address.
