TO TALKING MACHINE DEALERS Gentlemen:
Pathe Freres goods have been on the market several months j have been well received, and have had unbiased complimentary judgment passed on them. A number of dealers have been established, but we are ready for more. We will give exclusive agencies and liberal territories to the right parties and make it worth their while to handle our goods.
Whether a man sells competing phonographs or not is of no interest to us. Pathe Freres goods sell on their own merits and will sell in competition with the best.
Our records can be played on other machines. The attachments that are now being made are cheap and simple.
Pathe Freres Operatic records range from $2.00 to $2.50 and are double faced. We would recommend that you send for record #X2058, "Celeste Aida" on one side and "Song of Triumph" from "The Prophet" on the other, sung by Leo Slezak, the world's most famous German tenor, or #X2016, "La Boheme" on one side and "The Girl of the Golden West" on the other side, sung by Giorgini , of the Metropolitan Opera House, New York; Covent Garden, London; and La Scala, Italy, who toured the United States last year with Tetrazzini and Titta Ruffo.
For Band records try our #2151, "American Parade" on one side and "Le Cimbre" on the other side, or ask for our catalog and select anything from it. We will send you any record with our compliments, upon request.
Be successful by being up-to-the-minute.
