PORTABLE RECORD OUTFIT.
Making records on the one-night or one-week
stands is the effective advertising stunt of Signor
Friscoe, the xylophone artist, whose records made for
several record producing companies are considered
good sellers. Provided with a recording machine,
he demonstrates for his audiences how phonograph
records are made, and in so doing records the voices,
singing, or recitation and instrumental selections
made by members of the audience on the occasion.

RADIO CLUB IN ARGENTINA.
Argentina has just organized a radio association in
the city of Rosaria, with forty members according to
a report from Consul Bonney, to the department of
commerce. The organization intends to obtain board
of trade quotations from Buenos Aires by radio. Ex-
perimental receiving radio sets are made in Rosaria
by C. E. Smith, of Smith & Kirkwood, and sell for
about $38, but difficulty is anticipated, due to the
fact that the radio patents are controlled by a com-
pany in Buenos Aires, and patent interference is an-
ticipated.
OUR PHONOGRAPHS IN ENGLAND.
American phonographs and records occupy a prom-
inent place in the Manchester market, although the
import duty and the prevailing adverse rate of ex-
change is having a marked effect upon sales, accord-
ing to Consul Ross E. Holaday, Manchester, Eng-
land.

IMPORTED PHONOGRAPHS.
The recent statistics from the Bureau of Commerce
give a few surprising facts about the importation of
talking machines into the United States. Last year
this country imported talking machines to the amount
of $613,143. Of this amount Germany sent machines
to the value of $348,953. Switzerland sent $131,969
worth and twenty-seven other countries sent their
share.
