The talking machine world (Jan-Dec 1917)

140 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD TALKING MACHINE WORLD TRADE DIRECTORY" In order to make this directory as accurate and up-to-date as possible, we have listed alphabetically only those concerns whose advertisements have appeared in the TALKING MACHINE WORLD during the past six months. This is the fourth edition of the TALKING MACHINE WORLD TRADE DIRECTORY, each new appearance canceling the preceding list. It aims to answer in a nutshell the prevailing questions of "Where can I get it?" and "Who makes it?" — which questions we are emphatically interested in answering for our readers. No attempt has been made to differentiate between the merits of the various types of machines, records, etc. MACHINES ANGEL. US PHONOGRAPH CO.
