New Catalog of Udell
Player Roll Cabinets
Latest Folder Illustrates and Describes the
Complete Line—New Radio Cabinet Catalog
on the Press—Business Expanding
The Udell Works, Indianapolis, Ind., has just
issued a new folder containing illustrations and
descriptive matter regarding the company's com-
plete line of player roll cabinets, many of them
highly attractive period models of an elaborate
character.
The first page of the eight comprising the
folder bears interesting descriptive matter of
the thoroughgoing manner in which Udell cab-
inets are constructed, and six full pages are
given over to illustrations of the cabinets them-
selves. The folder is so laid out that it can be
readily mailed by the dealer to his prospects.
There is at present in the hands of the printer
a complete new catalog of Udell radio cabinets,
which will be ready for distribution shortly, and
is available to dealers in quantities upon request.
Since the Udell Works were taken over last
May by H. H. Phillips and H. T. Griffith, the
latter becoming president, there has been a
marked increase in shipments and sales. A
number of new patterns have been introduced,
and at particularly interesting prices because
of the advantages of volume production. The
company is at present in its 55th business year.
