PRIZE-WINNING EDISON SALESMEN
Groups From Middle West and New England
Enjoy Trip to Factory in Orange as Reward
for Special Selling Efforts in Contest
Eighteen Edison salesmen from Kansas City,
Detroit and Milwaukee territories recently vis-
ited the Edison plant in Orange, having won
Prize-Winning Edison Salesmen
the trip as the result of a prize sales contest
among Edison salesmen and conducted by Edi-
son jobbers. The second group of prize-win-
ners came from New England, and other prize-
winning groups will visit the Edison laboratories

At Chicago the Western party was entertained
by F. K. Babson, at the Chicago Athletic Club.
The itinerary from Chicago to Orange included
a boat ride on Lake Erie, a visit to Niagara
Falls and a daylight trip down the Hudson to
New York. In the big metropolis the excursion
visited the most prominent places of interest and,

on a souvenir Re-creation at the recording stu-
dios on Fifth avenue.

PACKING RECORDS FOR MAILING
Post Office Orders That Improperly Prepared
Parcels of Records Be Refused for Mailing—
New Ruling Applies Chiefly to Public
WASHINGTON, D. C, November 1.—The Post
Office Department has notified postmasters and
other employes of the service that parcels con-
taining phonograph records improperly prepared
to withstand ordinary handling in the mails
should not be accepted for transmission therein.
The attention of the office of the Third Assist-
ant Postmaster General has been invited to the
fact that parcels containing records are being
accepted for mailing and insurance, although im-
properly prepared without any cushion material
to absorb shock incidental to transportation.
In a letter addressed to the officials and em-
ployes of the postal service the office states that
"As phonograph records are of exceptionally
fragile nature, the acceptance of such parcels
improperly packed will result in claims for in-
demnity being filed covering such parcels as arc
insured or sent C. O. D. The co-operation of
postmasters at all offices, therefore, is requested,
with a view to acquainting patrons transmitting
phonograph records by insured or C. O. D. mail
as to the manner in which such parcels should
be packed to withstand ordinary handling in the
mails. Phonograph records should not be ac-
cepted unless the contents thereof are fully pro-
tected by sufficient cushioning material."
It is understood that the new regulation ap-
plies chiefly to individuals who have occasion to
mail records, for dealers in records practically
without exception see to it that they are care-
fully protected against breakage by the use of
corrugated cardboard.
President Buehn Announces Personnel of Com-
mittees to Act During Current Year
