THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
THE "SMALL GOODS" TRADE
The Popular " Regina."
What a Graphophone Does.
The Regina Corona, now on exhibition
at the new Regina warerooms, is attract-
ing great attention. Its wonderful mech-
anism represents one of the greatest, if
not the greatest achievement yet attained in
the construction of music boxes.
The manner in which its mechanism
raises, at will, any desired tune disc from
the receptable in which the discs are con-
tained, places and adjusts itself automatic-
ally, and, after having rendered the tune
desired, replaces itself in its original posi-
tion, causes many expressions of astonish-
ment to be uttered by visitors who witness
its operations.
Orchestral Reginas Nos. 6 and 7 also
gain many admirers. Their tune discs, 27
inches in diameter, project beyond the
edges of the box proper, yet so admirably
is the mechanism adapted that these discs
revolve with absolute accuracy, producing
faultless musical results.
The graphophone is the talking machine
up-to-date. In it appear the latest im-
provements that inventive skill has de-
vised to secure accurate records of sound
and to reproduce them faithfully.
The graphophone is remarkable for its
simplicity of construction and operation,
Busy Mr. Pierce.
T. Leverett Pierce, of the Phonoharp Co.,
is one of the busiest men in his branch of
the music trades to-day. Just at this
period his work in the city is so extended
that it is difficult to locate him at his office
except for a moment, when he has just
time enough to answer questions on the
condition of trade by displaying long lists
of orders for immediate shipment. There
is no question as to the popularity of the
Columbia Zither. That is past dispute.

This week's report at Frank Scribner's
office concerning the Flagg Co.'s products
includes news to the effect that agencies
for the Apollo Harp and Regent Zither
have been arranged for in Australia and
Brazil. The present output of Flagg
products for domestic and export markets
exceeds 5,000 per week.
William R. Gratz, in a brief talk with
The Review on Tuesday, said that Sym-
phonion results are highly satisfactory all
along the line.
" T h e merits of the
American-made Symphonion," said he,
"are now widely recognized. They have
been put to the test in every way and have
proved themselves. So far as it is possible
to look ahead, there is no cause for anxiety
as to the condition of trade in the near
future. The outlook is very bright indeed."
At the Rettberg & Lange factory this
week The Review noted healthy activity.
Orders are plentiful, and the two partners,
with a big force, are kept busy preparing
instruments for shipment.

busy man. It saves his time, his nerves,
and his money. It serves as his amanuen-
sis—an amanuensis that is always accu-
rate, never interrupts or worries him,
never tires, and is always at hand ready
for work. More than that it draws no
salary. A typewriter clerk is all the ex-
pert help needed, and the experience of
business concerns is that a typewriter can
transcribe the sentences reproduced by a
graphophone more rapidly than short-hand
notes can be written out. A graphophone
in an office means much more efficient
work, as well as a great saving of time and
money.
