C. October 1st, 1008, will mark the beginning of a new era in the hiatorr of the Edison Phonograuh. On that date we will put into effect a number of change* and inprovementa in Edison Phonographs and Records that will mean as much to the future of jour business and ours as did the introduction of the Oold Moulded Record and the Model C Reproducer of 1902. The tremendous increase in the sale of E Jieon goods since that time is known to you all The im prove men is tb« u introduced have, we j V timily b li*-v*-, cau»«d the saie ol m more Euioou rhonogtaph* .aid Records th; n the combintd sale of CJ all other makes of talking machines. Therefore, the changes and improve- men’s to be placed before the public on October 1st next will start with the prestige gained by six years of unexampled success. When to this success is added new conditions even more important than those that have gone before, we cotidently believe that you will fully agree with optimistic views regarding the future of the trade in Edison ^oods. The new future will consist ol the follow ing: 1. A nt-w Record made of a new comi>osition, by a new process and I playing an average of oVer four min. j utes, or about twice- as long as our present Record. 2. A senes of attachments by J which at alight cost all present I'ho- | nographs except the Cem may be ( equipped to play the longer Record in addition to the present one. •5. Several new *v{>es *f Edison Phonographs bv whion both the present and the new Record maf be played at the pleasure of the operator. 1. THE NEW RECORD This will be known as the Edison 1 Amberol Record, l.s nusL unpor. tant feature is a recording thread of 2 '0 lines to the inch, or twice as tine as the present Record of 1C‘> threads. By this uieans twice the playing ; length is secured without increasing the length or diameter of the Record itself. Since the finer thread required a smaller reproducing point it became necessary to lind a new composition that would sncees-'dully resist the wear of the reproducer. The sueoess- ful and accurate moulding of a 200 thread record foruied of a much tougher composition, also ceoessita ted changes and refinements in our moulding process. More than two years were spent m experimenting to secure these results, the work of several experts being constantly directed and super vised by Mr. Edison. The Edison Amberol Record is the most wonderful production ot its kind that the world has seen. The engraved sound waves are so minute that the eye cannot follow them and yet the sounds are repro. duced even more Clearly, more natu rally, and more sweetly than by the present Record. The present two minute liecord will be continued without change until futher advised. 2. THE ATTACHMENTS With a Record of finer threau came the problem of devising a plan by which the Record could be mark eted without compelling present owners of 1’nonograpns to buy new machines. This was solved by the construction of attachments embody, ing the principle of the diffnvnind gear and including a new Reproducer with a smaller reproducing point Attachments have been made for ail Edison Phonographs except the Gem. 3. NEW TYPES OF PHONOGRAPHS On October 1st, we will place on the market, three new types ol Phonographs to oe known as the Standard Phonograph, Combitiulion Type, the Home Phonograph, Com bination Type and the Triumph Phonograph, Combination Type These will be equipped to pLv b»th Records and will have ntwo repro ducers. -They will be sol4 at sbAht- ly higher prices thwo the {r«neni Standard, Home and Triumph ma chines.

PULL TOGETHER The prosperity of *’ a tow'ii is not guarded by the wealth of its inhabi- I tants, but by the uniformity with which they pull together when any important undertaking's to be ac- i complished. A man with a thousand dollars at his command and a love for town in his heart, can do more for the building up and improving I of it than the millionaire who locks up his capital and snaps his fingers at home progres.- Fort Mill Times. ea
