THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
Everybody Knows
Edison Quality
Edison dealers do not have to argue with prospective
customers about either quality or price. Quality is un-
derstood and prices are fixed. The dealer has only to
suit the customer in his choice of an instrument.
Nothing in the music trade sells so easily and at such
Phonographs do not cut into other sales. The profit is extra
a good profit.

If you have had an unsatisfactory experience in selling other machines, just
ask some Edison dealer to tell you his experience. Write to us or to your near-
est jobber for further particulars.

TRADE NOTES FROM TEXAS.
Goggans Big Trade—Grant Opens Up—Texas
Phonograph Co. Buys Holleman Interests.
(Special to The Review.)
Houston, Tex., June 27, 1905.
Thomas Goggan & Bro. are the Victor distrib-
utors here, with headquarters at Galveston, from
which point all shipments to dealers throughout
the State are made.
M. A. Grarit, who has been in the general retail
talking machine business here for a number of
years, and the pioneer and original talking ma-
chine adyocate in Texas, has returned from Cali-
fornia and opened a typewriter and talking ma-
chine parlor a t 417 Main street, Houston, under
the name of Unique Talking Machine Parlor.
He is pushing the American records.
Charles N. Fischer, Congress avenue, handles
all makes of machines, but specially pushing disk
goods. He is putting in a larger stock and states
that the outlook is good for a fall trade better
than ever before, unless the rains have seriously
injured the cotton crop.
The Texas Phonograph Co., the control of
which was owned by H. M. Holleman, has ab-
sorbed the Edison jobbing business of the H. M.
Holleman Co., distributors, and taken a long
lease on three stores. The partitions have been
taken out and the building rearranged into one
of the most complete and the largest talking ma-
chine establishments in the South, having en-
trances on two streets, 1019 Capitol avenue, and
618 Fannin street. Their customers are dealers
in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Indian
Territory and Western States, distributing horns,
accessories, and general talking machine sup-
plies; also Mexican goods. H. M. Holleman is
manager. They have two traveling salesmen on
the road for the summer.
BRIDE TALKS BY PHONOGRAPH.
Ten-Thousand-Mile Greeting—She's in China,
but the "Record" Speaks in New Jersey.
A talking machine record has been received
from Hankow, China, by the Rev. Frederick B.
Carter and Mrs. Carter of Church street, Mont-
clair, N. J. It is from- their daughter, Gertrude,
who was married recently in Hankow to the Rev.
Alfred A. Gilman, of North Platt, Neb. The rec-
ord is one of remarkable clearness and in it the
young woman sends greetings to her family and
friends, and relates some of the details of her
marriage. Mr. Carter in speaking of it told of
the pleasure and satisfaction it afforded them.
"When our daughter spoke to us she was in
far-off China, 600 miles from the sea coast and
10,000 miles from Montclair, but as we listened
we plainly recognized, not only our Gertrude's
voice, but also the little nervous tremor and the
joyous intonations so characteristic of brides,"
GROWTH OF VAUDEVILLE PARLORS.
Using Automatic Devices of All Kinds—Now
Spreading Not Only Over the Country But
Abroad—Large Purchasers, So It Is Said.
The so-called automatic vaudeville parlors,
filled up with talking machines, mostly of the slot
machine variety, and similar devices of an amuse-
ment nature, are spoken of as rapidly becoming
an impressive part of the business. They are
large consumers of staple goods, specialties, etc.,
and they are always in the market for entertain-
ment novelties of all kinds, providing they are
mechanically automatic in their operation.
In one of the most important of these establish-
ments in New York, the focus from which radiate
branch establishments in all the cities of the
country, there are nearly 600 machines of various
kinds on one floor alone, and the rest of the big
building is given up to the offices of the company,
to repair shops, etc.
"The first of these automatic parlors," says the
manager, when asked concerning the history of
the place, "was our own, and it is about five
years old. Before that there were parlors—no
one knows why they are always called parlors—
with just one kind of machine. Coin-operated
piano players, besides talking machines, are be-
coming attractive features of these parlors, and
some are really fine instruments. They are very
popular. Our new wheel or multi-phonograph
contains two dozen records, and you can select
any one you like. They are an ingenious appara-
tus. Inventions in coin devices are appearing fre-
quently, but we welcome them all. The making
of special records for these machines is getting to
be quite a business in itself."
According to data gathered in the principal of-
fice, every place has its automatic peculiarity.
For instance, in Australia, where there are sev-
eral branch houses, the patrons are direly afraid
of the ear cups on the phonographs and even
protest against their public use, while they mani-
fest no dread of disease from the telephone. But
every machine is disinfected once in twenty-four
hours, and just as soon as the doors are closed
a corps of cleaners are turned loose and every
inch of floor is scrubbed and every bit of the
walls swept and cleaned.
FRED PETMECKY INVENTS A NEEDLE.
(Special to The Review.)
Austin, Tex., June 26, 1905.
Fred Petmecky, of this city, is the inventor of
a needle for talking machines for which he
makes many claims. The first shipment of these
needles has just been received from the factory.
Mr. Petmecky claims that with one needle he
can make the machine reproduce in the most
powerful manner, then by simply changing the
position of the needle a smooth, soft tone is
produced free from all metallic and scratching
noises. It is his intention to bring this needle
before the trade in a large way later.
The talking machine was much in use at May
day parties in Central Park last month.
