had a most interesting visit. The Knight-Camp-
bell Music Co. is wholesale distributor for the
Victor line. Mr. Hopkins spoke in a very en-
thusiastic manner about the Orthophonic Vic-
trola and the bright future for this marvelous
product. He believes it is only a question of a
short time before every family will have one
of these machines in its home. He says though
that the dealer will have to watch his step on
this proposition, and he believes there is going
to be quite a problem to solve. The dealer will
be called upon to make exchanges and, accord-
ing to Mr. Hopkins, the maximum allowance,
regardless of the type of Victor machine, should
be $25. "A dealer must watch his profits. If
he is going to be too liberal in his allowances,
he is not going to realize very much on his
transactions."
