ACTIVITY IN NEWARK TRADE Various Dealers in Talking Machines Working to Keep Up Interest — Stocks Scarce Newark, N. J., April 4. — -There are signs of big Victor business at the Chalmers shop, where a conspicuous window sign one day last week bore the impressive statistical legend: "Sold yesterday. 197 records; largest day's sale, 1,093; sold since Sept. 28, 38,584. Watch the sales. It's proof of the service." Proof is the word. Selling 197 records in the course of an ordinary day's business is justification enough for a sign in the window, even without the 1,093 record, which, of course, dates from the holiday trade. A recent addition to the Chalmers selling force is Frank Lemaiter, late of the Bamberger Department Store and formerly talking'machine manager with the Newark Lauter Co. A handsome new Chalmers branch has just been opened in Montclair, under the management of Mrs. Dugan, recently manager of the Summit branch. Pathe business is excellent at the Doll store, due largely, no doubt, to an advertising campaign involving several full-page ads in the local papers. Newark people who become interested in the Pathe are holding their interest and bringing new customers to the Doll store. The Griffith store reports having sold nine Vocalions on one Saturday recently, the value averaging over $100 apiece. Assistant Manager Settle, of the Steger salesrooms, is doing some extensive Victor publicitywork, the results of which fully justify his efforts. Through circularization and personal letters he is interesting the Newark public in the Steger efficient service. The Hahne store's Victor department is doing the usual big business, experiencing difficulty in obtaining enough machines of the popular styles. At the Bradbury warerooms the Columbia Grafonola and records are being featured with considerable success and a liberal space is now devoted to that department. ISSUE AN INTERESTING CATALOG The Wonder Talking Machine Co., which recently bought the entire stock of Phono-Cut records from the Boston Talking Machine Co., announces that it is now ready to place these records on the market, and has issued a catalog listing the various classes of records included in this purchase. These are being placed on the market in connection with the Wonder Talking Machine Co.'s new universal tone arm which will be a part of the equipment of all Wonder machines in the future. The universal tone arm will play all types of disc records.
