98 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD BECOMES RECORDING SUPERVISOR IMPORTANT PATHE=BRUNSWICK DEAL The Columbia Graphophone Co., New York, announced this week the appointment of Clyde Emerson as recording supervisor, with headquarters at the company's recording laboratories, 102 West Thirty-eighth street. New York. Mr. Emerson's promotion to this important Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. to Sell Pathe Records and Call Its New Machine the "Brunswick-Pathephone," Under License from the Pathe Freres Phonograph Co. Goshen at once. The furniture concern has ■ been supplying the cabinets for a number of talking machine firms, and will now widen its field by the manufacture of talking machines for the general trade. Clyde Emerson post is well deserved, as he has been associated with the Columbia Co.'s recording department for nineteen years and has attained his present position through consistent effort and unfailing loyalty. Mr. Emerson"s skill as a sound recorder is equalled by very few members of the talking machine industry, and the splendid quality of the present-da}' Columbia records may be attributed in a considerable measure to his ability. Mr. Emerson has visited all corners of the globe in the interests of the Columbia record department in addition to his laboratory and mechanical experience. The Pathe Freres Phonograph Co. recently made an arrangement with the BrunswickBalke-Collender Co., by which the BrunswickBalke-Collender Co. is to sell the Pathe record in conjunction with its machine, which it is going to call the "Brunswick Pathephone," under a license agreement from the Pathe Freres Phonograph Co. The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. has a very large distributing organization, and will concentrate its efforts especially at points where the Pathe Freres Phonograph Co. is not entrenched at the present time. The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. expects to enter into a large national advertising campaign on the Pathe records in conjunction with the "Brunswick-Pathephone." The Pathe Freres Phonograph Co. has on hand a great many orders for machines, the shipments of which have been somewhat delayed, owing to the difficulty in obtaining springs and other parts from Europe. However, this situation is now clearing up and shipments will go forward in large quantities in the very near future. There is ready some advance copy of very attractive advertising matter to appear in the Saturday Evening Post and other national magazines, all of which is in the plan of the active campaign that the Pathe Freres Phonograph Co. is working out for the benefit of its dealers and jobbers, a plan which should prove very successful.

Bradt, general sales manager of the Columbia Graphophone Co., New York, has been elected an active member of the National Association of Piano Merchants.
