December Breaks All Records for Sales According to Dealers' Reports — Post Holiday Trade Also Good — Changes Among the Local Columbia Co. Staff — New Agency Established — What Other Houses Have Been Doing Recently-— Other News Worth Recording. (Special to The Talking Machine World.) Baltimore, Md., Jan. 9, 1909. December seems to have broken all records for sales during the year just passed, according to the statements of the dealers in general. All of them report that the business during the past month, particularly that of the two weeks preceding Christmas, was the best they have experienced for a long while. Since the first of the year there has been a slacking off, as was expected, yet the majority of those in the trade declare that this has not been as great as was anticipated. Some of the dealers, in fact, go so far as to declare that tneir business has kept up very satisfactory the past week and that the indications are promising for a continuance of this unlooked for condition right after the holidays. Speaking along this line, Manager Ansell, of the Baltimore street store of Cohen & Hughes, who handle the Victor machines, said that his firm has had a splendid after-holiday trade. The holiday sales were, of course, heavy, and the clerks were kept busy from morning until evening looking after the wants of the customers. Manager M. E. Lyle, of tne local branch of the Columbia Phonograph Co., stated that the Baltimore store recorded a larger number of sales during December than during any previous month for the last year and a half. This pertains to both the wholesale and retail trade. Continuing, Mr. Lyle said: "Our wholesale trade, especially since last October, when our fiscal year began, has more than doubled that for the same period of last year. The prospects are better than at any time for many months for this good condition in the trade to continue unabated." Several changes have taken place among the members of the force of the local Columbia store. J. M. Bayliss, chief clerk at this store, has been transferred to the New York office, while Tredwell K. Lyle, formerly stationed at the Paterson, N. J., branch, has been placed in charge of the retail floor in this city. Mr. Lyle is a brother of Manager M. E. Lyle, of the local branch. J. S. Mathews, formerly in charge of the retail department here, has been promoted to the position of chief clerk in place of Mr. Bayliss. W. O. Cooper, of 'the local sales force, is on a business trip in Western Maryland. An agency has been established with the C. Falk Music Co., of Asheville, N. C, through the local branch of the Columbia Phonograph Co. Edison and Victor machines have been going well since the first of the year at E.'F. Droop & Sons Co., according to Manager Grottendick. In fact, the demand for high class goods was never more apparent than during the past month. This applies to both machines and records. Sanders & Stayman had a heavy rush on the various priced Columbia and Victor machines during December. The demand for records was also lively. The $200 cabinet machines proved so popular as Christmas presents that the stock was nearly exhausted. The latest addition at the Star Talking Machine branch, Fred Scheller, manager, is the Starola cabinet grand, which is becoming a good seller. It is a handsome creation. Star machines were greatly in demand during the holidays and have been going well since the New Year. COLUMBIA CO.'S GRAND OPERA LIST. A very handsome volume has just been issued by the Columbia Phonograph Co., devoted to their grand opera records — Fonotipia and Symphony series. Estimated from every viewpoint, it reflects the greatest skill in designing, construction and editing. The list of records, with extended descriptive matter, as well as the por Talking Machines, Typewriters, Phonographs, Adding Machines, Cash Registers, Guns and Tools, and on all Polished Instruments. It Absolutely Prevents Rust. Sales Quadrupled in 1907 1866 1907 WILLIAM F. NYE NEW BEDFORD, MASS. traits of the artists singing them, appear within marginal tints on each page, while there is a careful index on the closing page which enables the user to at once get at the records of any artist desired. The lettering on the cover is in embossed gold on marbleized paper. Indeed, the volume is one that reflects the highest credit on all concerned in its production. UNITED TALKING MACHINE CO.'S LINE. After a delay of some weeks the United Talking Machine Co., of this city, are at last in a position to fill orders for their two machines, Nos. 5 and 10. This delay was caused by several minor improvements, which it was found possible to make in their construction at the last moment, and they deemed it best to hold up all orders rather than have any trouble later on. The improved model 10 is an excellent machine for the money, retailing, as it does, for $10, with a wide margin of profit for both dealer and jobber. The illustration herewith will give some idea of its appearance. The outfit consists of a 17-inch enameled flower horn with , rubber connection, detachable crane and concert-sized reproducer. The cabinet is 'of highly-polished oak (light or dark); motor; extra 'heavy single spring encased in a powerful gear spring; cup. It can be wound while running and will play two records with one winding. The governor is driven by a metal worm gear, and the carriage is propelled by a 50-thread feed screw. All metal parts are heavily nickeled and highly polished. The company's exclusive agency proposition is a most attractive one, and should toe of interest to all members of the talking machine trade throughout the world. Because you made a little money last year, don't rush ahead and increase expenses for the coming year.
