Situated i"

Landay chain has
closed a remark-
able business in
the short time it

of which are situ-

The Pathe Freres Phonograph Co., 2!) West
Thirty-eighth street, New York, announced this
week the consummation of a number of important

its various stores, tells a story of progress.
ANNUAL R E P O R T T S H O W S PROGRESS.
Interesting Figures Shown in Annual Report
of the Victor Co-operative Beneficial Asso-
ciation—Big Increase in Membership.
(Special to The Review.)
CAMDEN, N. J., February 1.—Some interesting
and enlightening figures that indicate the success
ot the Victor Co-operative Beneficial Association,
made up of the employes of the Victor Talking
Machine Co., is contained in the annual report of
the association for 1914, which has just been is-
sued.
During the year the membership of the associa-
tion grew from 4,512 to 5,45G. The total receipts
were $30,852.23, and the disbursements $24,091.54,
of which $10,207.25 was paid in sick benefits to
076 members and $4,209 death benefits to 29 mem-
bers. The fund at the close of the year enjoyed
a snug balance of $16,649.05, as compared with a
balance of $0,888.36 on January 1, 1914. The large
balance is due in considerable measure to the fact
that the operating expenses of the firm, $1,907.08,
were paid by the Victor Co. The demands upon
the association are indicated from the fact that dur-
ing the year the visiting secretary made 1,575 per-
sonal visits to members who made application for
benefits.
The officers of the association appointed to act
throughout the year 1915 arc: President, E. F.
Haines; vice-president, W. H. Nafey; treasurer,
G. W. Jaggers; secretary, E. K. MacEwan, and
visiting secretary, F. A. Sparks. There are also
six trustees.

To Be Held in Rooms of Merchant's Association
of New York on February 25.
The annual meeting of the Eastern Talking
Machine Dealers' Association will be held on Feb-
ruary 25 in the rooms of the Merchants' Associa-
tion of New York in the Woolworth building,
New York, for the purpose of electing officers,
considering the changing of the name, constitution
and by-laws of the association, taking action on
various existing evils and handling other business
of importance.
TEN DOLLARS IN VALUE FOR ONE DOLLAR INVESTED
Numbers of subscribers have claimed that they had rather pay a ten-dollar note annually for
The Talking Machine World
than to be without it.
It is a large and splendidly arranged paper, containing from 50 to 80 pages, covering comprehensively every branch
of the talking machine industry.
Its educational articles, showing how to build a successful and paying talking machine department, are widely read
—and no one who sells talking machines can afford to be without this publication.
Every merchant and every salesman can gain much valuable information by its perusal. It costs but $1.00 a year to
have it sent to any address in the United States. Samples free for the asking.
