He was surprised
And this is what he wrote
to his jobber
Hargcr & Blish, Des Moines, Iowa.
August 9th, 1912.
Gentlemen: I want to drop you a few lines with regard to my Edison
Phonograph Agency, which I know you will be pleased to receive. I write
this for the benefit of any other merchant looking for a desirable side line.
1 wish to say that when I was first approached, two years ago, by a
representative of the Thos. A. Edison Company and was solicited by him
to put in the Kdison .Phonograph line 1 was very sceptical as to its
feasibility, but after considerable persuasion took on an agency for
this line of goods.
At the time that Mr. Briggs, the factory man, called on me he made
the statement that I would find the Kdison Phonograph the most at-
tractive side line in my entire institution if I took on the sale of these
goods. It so happened that I then had the only agency in Iowa Falls for
the Eastman Kodak line, a most attractive and profitable side line and
one which 1 would not think of letting go under any circumstances, and
1 made the.remark at the time that if 1 could only do half as well with
the Kdison Phonograph line as I have done in years past with the Kast-
man Kodak line that I would be more than satisfied.
Upon looking over my account with you for the past couple of
years I am surprised to find that my purchases of you of Edison Phono-
graphs and records have far exceeded my best years with the Eastman
Kodak line, so that you can readily appreciate how valuable I consider
my franchise as an Edison dealer in phonographs and records.
If it will be of any advantage to you to show this letter at any time,
you have my full permission and sanction. I am, very truly yours,
(Signed) A. E. HAGENSICK.
If you have been sceptical as to the profitability of
the Edison line, consider what it has earned for
this, as well as other Edison dealers—and remem-
ber: scepticism has never won a dollar.
Dictate a letter to your Edison jobber now.
