The talking machine world (Jan-Dec 1909)

THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD. 55 WHERE THE EDISON BUSINESS PHONOGRAPH IS USED. Under the energetic direction and management of N. C. Durand, the Edison business phonograph is being introduced in a great number of the leading mercantile and manufacturing concerns of the e-ountry as an essential requisite of the office equipment. One of the model offices, so far as regards the employment of up-to-date appliances, is that of the Success Magazine. They have not only installed the Edison business phonograph, but are ardent advocates of its use, both as a matter of economy and convenience in the dictation and transcribing of correspondence, etc. The cut, which appears in a very effective booklet issued by Success Magazine, presenting their very complete plant in pictorial form only, shows the private office of R. C. Peacock, the circulation manager, as furnished with the Edison business phonograph. Speaking of the trade handling this specialty recently, Mr. Durand said: "More than half of my best and most effective agents are among the regular Edison phonograph dealers and jobbers. Where they have taken hold of the proposition properly the returns have been adequate." SYMPHONY GRAND SUPPLIED MUSIC. (Special to The Talking Machine World ) Louisville, Ky., Feb. 6, 1909.
