GRAFONOLA POLISH INTRODUCED

Grafonola Polish Counter Display
tiire emphasizes the fact that a satisfactory
polish is extremely important, as it furnishes a
distinct service of real benefit, to the dealers'
customers.
The new Grafonola polish, which was tested
and approved by the Columbia Co. before being
offered to the dealers, is scientifically prepared
to maintain the genuine lustre of finely finished
surfaces. Each bottle bears the famous Co-
lumbia trade-mark, and Columbia dealers can
undoubtedly feature this accessory to excellent
advantage.

Correct Way to Demonstrate the New Edison
Shown in Special Playlet
The right and wrong ways to demonstrate the
New Edison were depicted in a two-act play
written by H. Lester Marvil, of Waycross, sec-
retary of the Edison Dealers' Association of the
Atlanta, Ga., jobbing territory, especially for the
convention held by the Association in that city
on June 3 and 4.
W. L. F. Rosenblatt, president of Phonographs,
Inc., Edison jobbers, addressed the dealers, and
William Maxwell, vice-president of Thomas A.
Edison, Inc , in charge of the phonograph in-
dustry, represented that company at the meet-
ings. Interesting talks were made by H. R.
Brown, of Brunswick, Ga., on "Advantages of
Strvice to Edison Owners," and J. F. Tolleson,
of Atlanta, on "The Value of Advertising."
Following the two-days' session, dealers wit-
nessed a tone-test given by Miss Marie Tiffany,
well-known Edison artist, at the Atlanta Thea-
tre, and were guests of the jobber at a banquet
given at the Ansley Hotel.
