New Brunswick Plan for Building Gold Label Demand
Sample Records Will Be Sent to Those Whose Names Are Furnished to the Company by the Dealer — Should Develop High-class Trade
Buffalo, N. Y., April 7.— The Radio Studio of Buffalo, which distributes the Colin B. Kennedy receivers exclusively in this territory, is building an enviable reputation by the caliber of its policy of dealer co-operation. An interest

ing example of this is shown in the company's manner of making deliveries. Each salesman is provided with a Dodge car, fully equipped, an illustration of which is given herewith. The salesman Covers his territory in this car, carrying a stock of Kennedy receiving sets. Upon calling on a dealer and securing an order for a number of sets delivery is made immediately. It is needless to state that this service has won the heartfelt appreciation of the dealers.
In localities where dealer connections have not been effected the salesman knows in advance who he would like to sell and has made in advance the proper inquiries regarding credit, etc. If upon his initial call he is successful in landing the dealer, a stock of Colin B. Kennedy receivers are in the new dealer's store a few
Dr. Lee De Forest, noted inventor in radio, hailed with enthusiasm the order by President Coolidge transferring the Patent Office from the Department of the Interior to the Department of Commerce.
"It is the most forward-looking step in the history of the Patent Office," he said, "especially in view of the vigorous campaign to remove present injustices toward American patentees and manufacturers which Mr. Hoover has promised.
"The blindness of Congress is responsible for long delays and other obstacles to modern progress. It does not seem to understand the tremendous volume of work the examiners of the bureau are required to do, or that though over 50,000 patents and trade-marks are issued each year, it requires twelve months or more to get an application through, instead of six weeks or two months that should be necessary. This could be accomplished with increased pay and personnel. The member who introduces a bill that brings this about will do much to etch his name in the Hall of Fame."
The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co., Chicago, has provided for its dealers an interesting plan whereby Brunswick Gold Label records recorded by artists of the New Hall of Fame can be brought directly to the attention of the dealer's prospects at a minimum of expense.
Under the plan the dealer is asked to turn over to the company a selected list of record buyers who might be expected to be interested in records of the Gold Label type. To each of the customers on the list there will be sent a Gold Label record with the compliments of the Brunswick Co., accompanied by a personal letter stating that the record is sent at the suggestion of the local dealer. The customer is asked to acknowledge the sample records and these acknowledgments will be turned over to the dealer.
The only expense of the dealer beyond that of preparing the list, which is negligible, is a charge of fifteen cents for each record sent to its customers, thereby representing a most economical and at the same time impressive method for getting an actual sample of the Gold Label Records into the customer's hands.
