THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
VICTOR AMBASSADORS MEET
In Philadelphia and Are Entertained at Banquet
at St. James Hotel.
(Special to The Review.)
Philadelphia, Pa., August 31, 1908.
The traveling staff of the Victor Talking Ma-
chine Co., Camden, N. J., who were gathered in
this city for their semi-annual meeting, were en-
tertained at a banquet Wednesday of last week
at the St. James Hotel. Plates were laid for
twenty. George H. Ornstein, traveling sales man-
ager, acted as toastmaster, and also gave an
interesting talk on various business matters.
Among others who spoke were J. H. Wales, as-
sistant traveling sales manager; E. O. Neumiger,
of Iowa; Daniel D. O'Neil, of eastern Penn-
sylvania, and W. Linton. Chas. Perree Lightner,
who travels the Spanish-American countries for
the company's export department, also made a
few remarks apropos of his experience. Louis F.
Geissler, general manager, likewise made a short
speech. The corps, who expect to book a heavy
business this fall, had a most enjoyable time.
They will separate for their territory this week.
NEW LEEDS & CATLIN OFFICERS.
Frank P. Byrne, of Detroit, Mich., was elected
president of the Leeds & Catlin Go., manufac-
turers of talking machine records, to succeed
the late Edward F. Leeds, at a recent meeting.
Mr. Byrne was a director in the company. Henry
Leeds was elected treasurer, succeeding Henry
Leeds, Sr., who died last May. No other changes
were made in the directorate of the company.
VACATIONS WITH UNIVERSAL CO.
The offlee foree of the Universal Talking Ma-
chine Mfg. Co., Newark, N. J., have finished up
their vacations and are at their respective posts
of duty getting together on the fall trade, which
they expect to be very satisfactory. B. G. Royal,
the president, came over from Philadelphia,
Tuesday, staying at the factory until Friday, his
regular routine. J. A. Macnabb, vice-president,
general manager and superintendent, who had
been visiting friends in New Haven, Conn., for
the past two weeks, was on hand Monday. Gus
Vielage, treasurer and office manager, came in a
week ago. At the recording laboratory in New
York, Henry J. Hagen, the manager, and his
office assistant, Miss Burke, who had been at
Lake Hopatcong, N. J., for a fortnight, resumed
work Monday. During their absence recording
operations were suspended. Mr. Hagen antici-
pates a busy fall.
THE NEW EDISON AMBEROL RECORD.
Edison dealers throughout the country are en-
thusiastic over the new Edison Amberol record,
"that plays twice as long." The new record is to
go on sale Oct. 1. The attachments for fitting
present style phonographs to play both the new
and old record go on sale at the same time, also
the new compilation type machines for playing
both records.
The Edison factories are working day and
night to be ready for the demand for the new
goods, which is expected to far eclipse anything
in the annals of the trade.
Mr. Dealer, are you pre-
pared to meet the increased
demand for Victor goods
this Fall ?
Do you carry the full line
of Victors?
Is your record
stock up to the mark?
Profit by past experience.
Keep a full line of Victor goods,
and make every prospective
buyer a real buyer.
MAX LANDAY BACK IN HARNESS.
Max Landay, of Landay Bros, and the Zed Co.,
New York, in company with B. Feinberg, the
popular dealer of Chicago, were in the Catskill
Mountains, N. Y., for a couple of weeks having
the time of their lives. Mr. Landay returned to
his Fifth avenue headquarters Monday. On the
15th of the month he will start on a selling trip
West on behalf of the Talking Machine Supply
Co., of which he is one of the proprietors.
