Chicago, 111., Feb. 19, 1906.
Arthur D. Geissler, son of L. F. Geissler, gen-
eral manager of the Victor Talking Machine Co.,
has been made manager of the Talking Machine
Co., of this city, one of the largest, if not the
largest, distributors of Victor goods in the coun-
try. Mr. Geissler arrived in Chicago on Mon-
day of this week to assume his new position.
He was greatly pleased with the shape he found
the business in. "My predecessor, F. K. Babson,
leaves me a magnificent business and a splendidly
organized force," said Mr. Geissler. "Naturally
I am going to devote my attention principally to
the wholesale end of the business, our retail busi-
ness being distinctly a side issue. The Talking
Machine Co. is now an exclusive Victor dis-
tributor, but to counteract any false impression
which may have gained currency, I want to say
that we are simply like any other jobber, buy
our goods in the same way, and get no concession
or privilege that is not given to other Victor
jobbers." Mr. Geissler is well pleased with Chi-
cago. He is a man of pleasing personality, and
is gifted with a physique which tells of vast
stores of energy. He is a man of long experi-
ence in the talking machine business, having had
charge of the wholesale small goods and talking
machines for Sherman, Clay & Co. for several
years prior to going to New York to accept a
position with the Victor Co., which he relin-
quished to come to Chicago.
Trade is of good dimensions both in a retail
and wholesale way. The dealers have their
troubles in the difficulty experienced in getting
goods as needed from the factories, and no one
can give any hope that the congestion can be
relieved in the near future. And that's the
worst of it.
John Rogers, of the Knoxville Typewriter and
Phonograph Co., Knoxville, Tenn., has come to
Chicago for a couple of months or so and is
helping out James I. Lyons, the well-known talk-
ing machine jobber, who is simply swamped with
the details of his large business, and who gladly
welcomed the temporary assistance of an experi-
enced hand. Mr. Rogers explained the arrange-
ment by saying that while his firm are confining
themselves entirely to the retail business, they
have long thought of branching out in the jobbing
business, and the opportunity of entering the
Lyons jobbing house for a while was one not to
be declined on account of the valuable knowledge
he would gain. Mr. Rogers says that the talking
machine business is developing with remarkable
rapidity in the South, and that the talking
machine is winning even greater prestige there
than in the North. His firm alone put out 3,000
machines in Knoxville last year. All cylinder
machines. It's a cylinder town. There are now
4,000 cylinder machines in Knoxville and just
fifteen disc machines. On the other hand, Mem-
phis and Nashville, in the same State, are dis-
tinctly disc towns. Mr. Rogers' company handle
the Columbia and the Edison goods.
Changes are still being made at the Chicago
headquarters of the National Phonograph Co.
New record rooms are being installed for the
benefit of visiting Edison jobbers, and other im-
provements are in progress. Manager Nisbett is
expected home from the coast about Feb. 15.
Lyon & Healy have hit upon the expedient of
ordering a number of Victor records in advance
of their general delivery to the trade. For in-
stance, dealers who are willing to trust to Man-
ager Goodwin's selection can now obtain some
of the finest numbers in the March list. It's
quite an innovation, one that requires nerve, as
it means the ordering of large quantities of
records in advance. Mr. Goodwin, by the way,
MUSIC TRADE
REVIEW
is now spending a week or so with Paul Healy
and R. B. Gregory at the famous Muldoon "Muscle
Farm" in New York State.
The Healy Music Co. have secured the agency
for the Zonophone Co.'s machines and records,
and will handle them in a jobbing as well as
retail way. Mr. Faber, who will have charge of
the department, is very enthusiastic regarding
the move, and Ray Healy looks wise when he
speaks of it, as much as to say that the talking
machine world is about to witness something
very much like a comet athwart the horizon.
The Healy Co. will, by the way, move next May
into the store now occupied by the Rudolph Wur-
litzer Co., at 298-300 Wabash avenue, when the
Wurlitzer Co. will move to their recently ac-
quired building at 266-268 Wabash avenue.
The Columbia Phonograph Co., Chicago branch,
has recently made a contract whereby the Twen-
tieth Century graphophone will be used for the
inside winter concerts at ten of the Chicago
parks in lieu of the orchestras which have been
used heretofore. It is certainly a triumph for
the Twentieth Century, and a use for the ma-
chine which dealers in other cities may well
make a note of.
O. W. Eckland & Co., 128 Dearborn street, Chi-
cago, have some excellent schemes for increasing
the sales of talking machines which dealers
would do well to investigate.
The Chicago offices of the American Grapho-
phone Co. and the Hawthorne-Sheble Mfg. Co.,
have been moved to larger quarters on the sec-
ond floor of the Adams Express Co. building,
185 Dearborn street. Manager Noyes says that
business is excellent.

TALKING MACHINE'S LATEST PUPILS.
In one of the strangest schools in the world a
new roster of pupils has recently been matric-
ulated. These pupils are parrots—twenty in
number—forming the nucleus of a class from
which a woman trainer in Philadalphia expects
to realize many hundreds of dollars next Christ-
mas, when all the birds have become proficient
talkers.
There is nothing novel in this. The unique
feature of the plan is that she trains the birds
to speech and song by means of the talking ma-
chine.
This idea originated with Mrs. Jacob Hope. A
parrot without conversational ability is worth $10
or $15. One that has an entertaining number of
phrases at its command will bring from $100 to
$150.
There is money, Mrs. Hope believes, in teach-
ing parrots to talk. Her ambition is to make
money, and in teaching her feathered pupils she
regards the talking machine as the best educa-
tional agency.—Talking Machine World.

TALKING MACHINE'S LATEST PUPILS.
In one of the strangest schools in the world a
new roster of pupils has recently been matric-
ulated. These pupils are parrots—twenty in
number—forming the nucleus of a class from
which a woman trainer in Philadalphia expects
to realize many hundreds of dollars next Christ-
mas, when all the birds have become proficient
talkers.
There is nothing novel in this. The unique
feature of the plan is that she trains the birds
to speech and song by means of the talking ma-
chine.
This idea originated with Mrs. Jacob Hope. A
parrot without conversational ability is worth $10
or $15. One that has an entertaining number of
phrases at its command will bring from $100 to
$150.
There is money, Mrs. Hope believes, in teach-
ing parrots to talk. Her ambition is to make
money, and in teaching her feathered pupils she
regards the talking machine as the best educa-
tional agency.—Talking Machine World.
Future scanning projects are planned by the International Arcade Museum Library (IAML).
