TRNSTATE ASSOCIATION MEETS Organization Holds Interesting Session in St. Louis and Enjoys Address by Mrs. Clark — New Schedule of Terms JDrafted St. Louis, Mo., April 5.— The Tri-State Victrola Dealers' Association met here the evening of April 3 because on that date John Gregg Payne, of the Victor copyright department, and Mrs. Clark, of the Victor educational department, were in the city. Late on that date Mr. Payne, however, was called to Washington, and Mrs. Clark was the only speaker. But the sixty members present expressed themselves as satisfied with what they had heard for one evening. Mrs. Clark told them the history of the educational department work and outlined what had been done in the eight years since it was undertaken. She told them of the progress made and of the help this movement was now getting from the school teachers. She said that the Victor Co. now regarded the situation as favorable for aggressive action on the part of the dealers and that she hoped they would get a complete understanding of this work, its special records and the general scope so that they might push it for the benefit of what would be accomplished of educational value and also for the profit to themselves and to the factory. As a special message from the factory Mrs. Clark told the dealers that the last month made a new record for the output of records from the Victor factory and April was expected to reach a record in the number of machines. It was expected, she said, that the factory could place the dealers on a satisfactory stock basis by September, if the amount of back orders had been properly judged. The association reviewed the suggestions for' monthly payments on machines and a new scale was drawn as expressing the ideas of the members of the association. This scale runs from twelve to sixteen months. It does not consider machines of more than $350 value. It was also decided that a card should be drafted to be placed on machines when prepared for delivery. This card shall state the guarantee. Especial note will be made that claims for "case damage" must be made within three days. Also there will be a list of fair price for standard repairs. The exact text of this card will be drafted within a few days along the lines outlined. Because of the approaching Victory Loan, all merchants agreed to accept Liberty Bonds at face value until that campaign ends. 83 UNIVERSAL ATTACHMENTS Showing the attachment conneeted to Edison Tone Arm set in correct position to play Victor, Columbia, and any lateral cut record.

The Empire Phono Parts Co. Sales Office 429 So. Wabash Avenue CHICAGO, ILL. Factory CLEVELAND, OHIO The dealers present decided that it would be advisable to accept Liberty Bonds at face value until after the campaign for the Fifth Liberty Loan ends. This move, it was explained, was suggested to all dealers as a matter of patriotism, not from a business basis. What recommendation will be made after the Victory Loan campaign ends is not indicated at present. President Val Reis presided at this meeting. Among the out-of-town dealers present were: E. A. Parks, Hannibal, Mo.; W. Rhein and T. J. Price, of Belleville; Pat Boverre, St. Genevieve, Mo., and Mr. Ferrand, of Granite City, 111. NOT TO REBUILD FACTORY F. A.
