Special Letter Emphasizing Business Opportunities Sent to Trade. (Special to The Talking Machine World.) Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 3, 1910. Bearing on the Christmas trade specifically, the Victor Talking Machine Co., Camden, N. J., in their special letter of the 25th to dealers, say in part : "In handing you the December supplement, we are again going to make an attempt to impress upon you the importance of getting after the record business with the same enthusiasm you display in selling a Victor or Victrola. We grant you that the handsome profit on the sale of the instrument is a great magnet to attract the attention of every salesman to sell machines, but you must bear in mind that the possibilities of record sales to each owner of a Victor are anywhere from three to five times as great as the profit on the sale of an instrument. But this handsome profit will not be realized by simply sitting down and waiting for the customer to buy records. "Previously we told you that there was no asset more valuable to Victor dealers than the machines now in the homes of your city. But to make these machines dividend paying assets requires systematic and intelligent work. It is never too late to begin a good system, and if you will buy a little memorandum book, or better still, a set of index cards, and enter thereon every purchase of ever customer, not in dollars and cents, but such information as will tell you just exactly what records each customer owns, and will utilize this memoranda to further your own interest, you will surprise yourself with the result. Now is the particular opportune time. The golden days of the Victor selling season are right on top of us and your opportunity is before you." COLUMBIA RECORDS BY DADDI The Grand Opera Artist and Famous Neapoli tan Singer, Are Growing in Popularity. The Columbia records, sung by Daddi, one of the foremost Neapolitan singers in the country, are reported as going big in the domestic trade, SIGNOR DADDI. and the export department of the company is also anticipating heavy sales for this artist's work in the Latin-American countries. They are listed in the "blue label" series, and may be placed on sale as soon as received by the dealer. The Columbia Co. have an exclusive contract with Daddi. The export department commenced sending out this week their first complete catalog of grand opera records for the foreign trade. It is a very handsome publication and contains fine portraits of the world-celebrated artists whose records stand so deservedly high in the critical estimation of professional musicians and music lovers generally. The list of Cuban records for January will probably be ready for distribution next week. A DOUBLE RESPONSIBILITY. "Every merchant," remarked one of them, "takes it for granted that his employes are honest. The fact that he has them in his store is an evidence of that fact; if he had reason to suspect one of them, he would get rid of him at the earliest opportunity. "This trust too often leads to loose methods on part of the employe, is a bad thing for the men, because of that fact. It is too apt to lead them into temptation. No man can object to proper safeguards, and it is no reflection on the help when they are introduced. A merchant owes it to his help as well as to himself that a proper check is placed on every dollar as it passes through the store." Don't sit on the back porch and expect Providence to spade your garden. ■> Providence doesn't spade gardens, but Providence will make your garden grow and give you 400 per cent, on your investment if you do the preliminary work properly. Throw the lime light on your own shortcomings as often and as vigorously as upon those of your fellows. You will get to be a pretty good fellow after awhile — almost as. good as you would like to see all others be. 60 YEARS' EXPERIENCE I RADE IVIARKS Designs Copyrights &c.
