THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD PRESTIGE and PROFITS No matter how distinctive and lucrative any dealer's line may be, the NEW EDISON would add prestige and profit. Prestige because the NEW EDISON embodies Thomas A. Edison's new art — Music's ReCreation. Demonstrations of this unparalleled achievement have profoundly impressed many thousands of cultured music lovers with the fact that the NEW EDISON is the peer of the finest musical instruments in artistic achievement and unapproached by any in its range of musical expression. The NEW Chippendale — Official On the recently concluded tour of Marie Rappold, brilliant Metropolitan star, when she sang in immediate comparison with the NEW EDISON from New York to Seattle, from St. Paul to Dallas, some 30,000 music lovers and critics strained their ears to catch any difference between Mme. Rappold's living and Re-Created voices and were astounded to find there was no difference to catch. Surely an instrument to sustain this exacting test must possess characteristics so distinctive as to place it above comparison. The prestige thus created is an invaluable asset for the Edison dealer. Edison profits are ample. The average per sale is unusually large and requires no more effort to secure, and frequently less than with lines carrying a much smaller profit per sale. The Edison Probationary Zone Plan gives good dealers a chance to prove that they are good dealers. Details of this plan may be secured from the jobber in the list below nearest you, or from THOMAS A.
