THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD. 29 TO THE TALKING MACHINE TRADE Gentlemen : Everybody knows the talking machine industry is a large one, and a great many people know that it has "been lucrative. Only a few people are in right on the well known brands, and these people, as you .kno.w ,. have been reaping a good harvest whereever they have "been active. Our line is making a place for itself day by day, and we are -coming into our own, and before long we shall have a very good share of the talking 'machine business. We are not trying to do anything revolutionary; we are trying to find out what people want, and then give it to them. We think the people want a machine that plays all records--ours does. We believe people want to buy records that will last them for a great many years--ours do. We believe people object to changing the needle continuously--ours does not have to be changed. We have a letter before us now from a friend in Milwaukee, who says he has used the same sapphire stylus on his Pathe machine, which he imported from Europe, for eight years and he says it is as good today as the day he started to use it. Our tone is the best there is. The name "Pathe" and our trademark, the rooster, are well known. We have more talking points for the selling of our machine than has anyone else, and it is possible to get the handling of our goods in good territories on very attractive terms. We want to put a Pathe Pathephone Shop in every city of 25,000 inhabitants or over, in the United States. Anyone who knows something about the business can get a sole agency if they are the right people and have a sufficient amount of money. Write for our proposition. Our new models are ready.
