AT the very beginning, we desire it to be understood that while
jCX Eliphalet Remington and his son Philo E. Remington, officers of the
Remington Phonograph Corporation, are of the original Remington
family, makers of the Remington fire-arms and typewriters, they are not at present
connected with any of the other Remington industries.
The Remington Phonograph Corporation has an authorized capital stock of
$1,000,000, with no bonds or preferred stock. The company will manufacture
a phonograph of the highest possible quality, worthy of the illustrious name
REMINGTON.
The Remington Reproducer is Entirely New in Principle
The Remington Phonograph follows the invention of a reproducer by a well-
known telephone expert, who has succeeded in developing a sound box, which,
it has been demonstrated time and again, improves the tone of any phonograph
by at least 25 per cent. The company has had numerous offers to induce it to
market the reproducer separately but is fully convinced of a satisfactory demand
for a completed instrument possessing phonograph qualities superior to anything yet
offered to the public. These qualities are achieved through the Remington Repro_
ducer and other exclusive patented features owned and controlled by the corporation^
The corporation will confine itself to the manufacture of phonographs and con-
centrate its efforts on the handling of this single article and its parts and appur-
tenances. It does not contemplate engaging in the making of pianos, cabinets
or other furniture.
Briefly, the Remington Reproducer is made so as to obtain the freest vibration of
the diaphram, thereby making possible the reproduction of many of the soft tones
which are too often lost by reproducers in general use today.
Officers and Directors
The officers and directoiS of the company are all business men experienced in conducting enter-
prises of size and consequence. They are: Philo E. Remington, president; James S. Holmes,
vice-president; and Marc B. Thomas, secretary-treasurer. E. Remington, I lion, IN. Y.; Hairy
F. Sieber, Philadelphia; L. C. Kendall, New York; Robert W. Dunlap, Baltimore and G. Henry
Stetson, Philadelphia, are the directors.
Location of Plant
The plant will be located in Ilion, N. Y., the home of Remington industries for over 100 years.
Management
The business will be under the general management of
James S. Holmes, vice-president of the company, who
has been connected during the past twenty years with
several of the laigest piano companies in the industry.
