INDIA A FERTILE COUNTRY
For Talking Machine Trade—Great Interest Be-
ing Manifested in American Machines and
Supplies—Class of Records Best Liked.
India is a great country for the talking ma-
chine, and every month thousands are being
shipped to that point. That the dealers in these
instruments are also growing in number, and
that they can read English, is evident from the
rapidly growing clientele of Talking Machine
World subscribers in India. Every mail brings
either inquiries anent advertised specialties or
subscriptions. All this is a healthy sign and
shows how the American machine and supplies
stand abroad. Indeed, it is a matter of common
knowledge that the talking machine trade with
India is more extended and more profitable than
with many other countries. The native who
can command the price wants a talking machine,
and the records he delights in are those which
reproduce the native songs. A correspondent of
the "Zeitschrift fur Instrumentenbau" points out
that records in the four or five different Indian
languages command a ready and permanent
sale; he also advises record companies to record
the songs of the Indian dancing girls. In sup-
port of his advice he explains that the sales to
the European population are very much more
limited than to the indigenous peoples; and even
if the western nations refuse to class the screams
and cries which pass for Indian songs as music,
it must be remembered that they gratify the taste
of the majority of lecord buyers in India.—The
Talking Machine World.
