Jones Store Co. Opens Handsome Showrooms for Victor Line, with Harry B. Bibb in Charge — Have Excellent Trade Prospects. again been appealed to the Circuit Court, and is still open. (Special to The Talking Machine World.) Kansas City, Mo., September 27. — The Jones Store Co. has put in a tnlking mach'ne department, featuring the Victor line, which is proving very successful. The parlors are on the third floor, the same floor with the lunch room, the hair dressing department and the ladies' parlors. This gives everyone a chance to hear the music from the department, whether they have "talkers" on the'r minds or not. And, of course, hearing the music soon puts it on their minds. Harry B. Bibb, formerly of Dallas, Tex., has charge of the department, and is very enthusiastic over the prospects. Mr. Bibb has been in the business for fifteen years, first with the Conway people in St. Louis, then w'th Columbia and Edison branch stores ; later with the Schmelzer Arms Co., of this city, which position he left three years go to accept a place with the Field-Lippman Stores in Dallas, Tex. "And in all my experience," said Mr. Bibb, "I never had charge of a department with better prospects than we have right here in the Victor department of the Jones Store." BUSINESS ^EXCELLENT, Says W. H. Meyer, Sales Manager of A. F. Meisselbach & Bro., Who Is Visiting the Trade and Booking Many Orders. W. H. Meyer, sales manager of A. F. Meisselbach & Bro., Newark, N. J., who is touring the country in the interest of Balance Sound Boxesand Meisselbach motors, is planning to return home about the first of November. Mr. Meyer reports that business is excellent and that the outlook is most optimistic. "One thing that I noticed particularly," said Mr. Meyer to The World representative, "is the demand for highclass products of all kinds. Included in this naturally is the growing business on Balance Sound Boxes, which are sold by Edison jobbers and dealers. "We first started with Balance Sound Box No. 1, and then brought out No. 2, and recently we introduced box No. 3, for concert work and dance music. All of these three styles are built in the usual Meisselbach qual'ty and are acknowledged as examples of a high type of manufacture." VICTOR=MACY CASE REOPENED.. The case of the Victor Talking Machine Co. vs. R. H. Macy & Co., wh'ch was dismissed by Judge Hand last March, was taken to the Circuit Court of Appeals, which affirmed the dismissal. The Circuit Court, however, granted the Victor Co. leave to file an amended complaint, and on September 15 the case was again dismissed by Judge Hough, of the District Court at New York. The case has TO HANDLE THE PATHEPHONE. The French-American Phonograph Co. has leased the store at 487 Fifth avenue, New York, between Forty-first and Forty-second streets, where it will open an exclusive Pathephone shop, handling the products of the Pathe Freres Phonograph Co. exclusively. According to present plans, the store will open on October 15, and elaborate furnishings and decorations are now being installed. An extensive advertising campaign will be introduced, and new ideas to attract the attention of the public to the store are in course of preparation. VICTOR HELPS TO DEALERS. Monthly Batch of Literature Just Sent Out Should Aid in the Development of Fall Business— Why Records Should Be Placed in Hand Early to Benefit by Fall Demands. The Victor Talking Machine Ca. sent to its dealers this week its usual monthly batch of literature to aid in the development of fall business. October literature was particularly timely and effective, two very attractive window streamers announcing the arrival of the new records being unusually striking in their color scheme. Other publicity helps contained in this monthly envelope were as follows : October supplement, two October hangers, newspaper review of October records, sheet of readymade advertising electrotypes, copy of October magazine and educational advertising, copy of October farm paper advertising, sheet of foreign and domestic numerical pasters and supplements of new Arabian, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Russian and Swedish records. Referring to the advisability of placing record orders as far in advance as possible, a letter accompanying this literature sad in part: "As for your stock of goods — there is no time to lose ! You may have heard that before, you may hear it again, but that doesn't alter the fact that it is absolutely true to-day. Don't make any mistake, there's going to be an enormous business done this year — more than ever before; but no dealer can furnish what he hasn't got, and wo"se still, he probably won't get a second opportunity. Get in the b'ggest order you have ever placed and earlier than you ever placed one. The cu'tomers you make this fall will stick to you for years. The customers you lose will stick to someone else." NEW QUARTERS IN CEDAR RAPIDS, IA. (Special to The Talking Machine World.) Cedar Rapids, Ia., October 1. — The handsome new store of the Grafonola Co. at 220 Third avenue, this city, was formally opened recently and the effect indicated that the several weeks spent in preparing the new quarters had not been in vairi. The Grafonola Co., of which Charles J. Gramling is manager, handles both wholesale and retail business in the Columbia line. W. C. Fuhri, district manager for the Columbia Graphophone Co., with headquarters in Chicago, and F. F. Dawson, secretary-treasurer of the Grafonola Co., attended the opening. OUTINO OF JEWEL DEPARTMENT. The first annual outing of the staff of the jewel department of the phonograph works of Thomas A. Edison, Inc., was held at Muhsgung's Grove, Springfield, N. J., last month, with about forty employes of the company and their friends present. The party rode to the grove in motor trucks, and after participating in a series of games enjoyed an elaborate chicken dinner. P. C.
