Experience has taught that this is a pernicious
practice, as many thus sent out are returned after
being badly used and are damaged. The dealer either
puts them back into stock, to be sold to the next un-
suspecting customer, or he must "scrap" them, which
is a total loss.
You are sure of fresh records at Wamplers', free
from scratches, "needle digs," and other defects.
When records are sent out on approval they are
often played many times over, and when returned to
the dealer are "second hand" records. You are en-
titled to NEW records, and you get them at Wam-
plers'.
Curiously enough, the largest Victor distributor in
the Middle West, Lyon & Healy, has the smallest
operating Victrola in the world. It was made by
L. D. Monroe, an employe of the firm for many
years.
