Convenient and Economical Receptacle for the
Talking Machine Essential Meets
With Big Trade Demand.
The illustration shows a holder for
Jewel Needles which has recently been
put on the market and which is meet-
ing with great favor among the dealers
who aim to supply the talking machine
users with every detail necessary to a
complete machine.
This little device which is a suitable receptacle
for Edison, Pathe, and other high-priced needles
enables the talking machine or phonograph owner
to take proper care of these items without danger
of losing, misplacing, or breaking them, for the rea-
son that when not in use there is a place to put
them where they are on hand and easily accessible
when wanted.
The little nickel or gold-plated holders are made
with felt bases so that they will not scratch the
cabinet motor board when set loosely inside the
cover, but have proved so popular that some manu-
facturers are now mounting them permanently on

FIRE IN CABINET FACTORY.
Fire starting from spontaneous combustion in the

$50, but the flames started an automatic sprinkling
system to work and before the water could be
turned off some cabinets were ruined.

The Wall Kane needles will be demonstrated to
