R. C. Wade Co., Makers of Talking Machine Needles,
Presents One More Trade Opportunity.
R. C. Wade Co., 110 So. Wabash Ave., Chicago,
; will perijiit no opportunity to pass by which dealers
' who sell the famous Tonofone needles may be as-
sisted and their sales made still larger. The latest
aid to good business in needles takes the shape of a
letter in which a helpful proposition is made for the
; fall campaign. The letter reads as follows, and it
will interest every talking machine dealer:
!
Chicago, July 22, 1920.
;
1. To give you, AT ONCE, more help in dis-
tributing Tonofone—and as a prelude to an inten-
; sive fall campaign—we propose to furnish to every
- one of your customers a liberal allotment of free
samples and leaflets (see paragraph 4).
2. To each new customer who buys one carton,
we will send 25 free samples (each sample being 2
needles in an envelope) with descriptive leaflet—200
extra leaflets, with space for dealer's name—and one
poster-display-card.
3. With three carton orders (or on repeat orders)
we will furnish 100 samples—1,000 extra leaflets—
and (unless previously furnished) one poster. If
customer can display more posters to advantage, we
will gladly supply them.
4. Experience shows that the distribution of free
samples is the most effective of all known methods
of introducing a new product and, while it will be a
big expense to us, we want you to send us the ad-
dress of every Tonofone customer, giving number
of cartons bought and we will send them the adver-
tising matter without trouble or expense to you.
5. Every one of your customers, who is a possible
needle buyer, should have one of the new Advertis-
ing-Helps-Order-Blanks, like attached, made up in
your name. These will bring you a lot of orders
and the "helps" will bring you many "repeats."
Please advise us quickly how many to print and
send, with the understanding that you will promptly
get them into the hands of your trade.
Yours very truly,
R. C. WADE CO.
Dorchester Mapes, Sec. and Treas.
N. B. We discontinue putting dealer's imprint on
leaflets, because the new plan will sell more Tono-
fone needles.

The policy of the Williams House is and ah/ays

attract bargain hunters. It does, however, win the
