The talking machine world (Jan-Dec 1908)

THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD. 55 THE NEW MONARCH MIDGET Record Rack Takes in Folding Trays and Is a Most Complete Product — Proving a Big Seller Wlierever Introduced, RECORD BULLETINS FOR DECEMBER, 1908 NEW VICTOR RECORDS. The new Monarch Midget record racks made by the Syracuse Wire Works, Syracuse, N. Y., have taken strong hold of the trade, owing to their several features tending to convenience in arranging the records systematically. The Monarch Midget rack is made with openings large enough to take the various makes of folding trays using the Rapke label, thereby permitting several records of the same number being kept in the same compartment. The Blackman Talking Machine Co., New York, in acknowledging receipt of a sample of the special Monarch Midget rack says: "The special Monarch Midget wire rack, holding 20O of the Blackman folding trays, has been received and is very satisfactory. A number of our dealers will use your wire rack now, in view of the spaces being large enough to accommodate the trays. We expect to dispose of a number of these racks, as well as the regular racks to be used in connection with our folding trays." THE "TALKER" AS A DIPLOMAT. In writing of the talking machine for a number of daily papers, Frederick J. Haskin mentions an incident in which the "talker" came to the aid of diplomacy and won out. Mr. Haskin says: "When the Americans wanted to negotiate the treaty of Jolo they took the Sultan aboard the "Charleston" with his suite and showed them the sights; and that which most interested the party was a talking machine. The Sultan's favorite wife wanted the wonderful thing. The Americans agreed to give it to her if she would induce her husband to agree to the treaty. She succeeded in getting him to sign the document, and so American diplomacy knows the advantage of the talking machine." TOSI MUSIC CO. ENTERTAIN CROWDS. (Special to The Talking Machine World.)
