Sales Manager Dolbeer, of the National Phonograph Co., Sends Out Some Important Data That Will Interest the Trade Regarding Getting Special Records of Hits Before the Public at an Early Date. Relative to advancing the selling date on certain special records, particularly "hits." F. K. Dolbeer, sales manager of the National Phonograph Co., Orange, N. J., sent out the appended letter on February 3: "For some time past we have been formulating plans whereby we could more promptly place in the hands of our trade records covering selections which may have proven 'hits,' or which v. e have reason to believe will become especially popular — the demands for which will be the greatest, of course, while the selections are beng kept prominently before the public by being head-lined in theatrical publications, as well as being in the repertoire of the vaudeville and musical comedy artists. It is not our purpose to offer such records each month, but at such times only as conditions appear to make it advisable. "The innovation as outlined will permit of the selling date being advanced 30 days, that is, from time to time as such selections appear (the masters for which have already been made with a view of listing the records two or three months hence), we will advance the selling date one month, making shipment of these records with the previous month's issue. To insure of your receiving such records as soon as placed upon the market, it will be necessary for you to enter a standing order with your jobber, and in placing same you should give your jobber specific instructions, as to whether or not a second shipment is to be made when these records appear as a part of the next monthly list. "Owing to the popularity of the three following selections (the master for which have already been made with a view to listing them in the May supplement), we shall advance the selling date in Canada to S a. m. on March 24. and SOUTHERN DEALERS GET NORTHERN SERVICE 103-105 South Main Street MEMPHIS, TENN.

"These three records will not increase the number of the May list, which will total forty selections, consisting of fifteen two-minute, twenty four-minute and five four-minute grand opera. The three selections referred to are: Standard (two-minute), No. 10,362, "By the Light of the Silvery Moon" (Ada Jones) , orchestra accompaniment; Amberol (four-minute), No. 421, "By the Light of the Silvery Moon" (Ada Jones and male quartet, orchestra accompaniment) ; No. 432, "Cubanola Glide" (New York military band with Collins and Harlan). These are unquestionably the most pronounced song 'hits' of the season, and while of the 'rag' type, their mellow catchy rhythm has been so artistically rendered, that we confidently predict an enormous sale for them."
