The Emerson Philadelphia Co., distributors for Emerson records in eastern Philadelphia, southern New Jersey, Delaware and Washington, D. C, have found conditions in their territory very encouraging. In a recent chat with The World Harry Fox, general manager of this company, said: "When we took charge of this territory a few months ago we anticipated good business, but the sales have gone far beyond what we had looked for. With the live sales force vmder my supervision developing a host of'new and high-class dealers, with the Emerson product coming better all the time and fully meeting trade demands,' and with the enthusiasm with which Emerson dealers are pushing the records, I am confident that the summer business will be followed by a busy fall."
