TO SUPPLY CREDIT INFORMATION
Talking Machine Interests Form American Phono-
graph & Allied Musical Manufacturers Association.
The scope of the work of the American Phono-
graph & Allied Musical Manufacturers' Association,
recently formed at a meeting in the Hotel McAlpin,
New York, will be along the line of credit research
and advice valuable to credit men. The association
will strive to discourage unjust practices of unscrupu-
lous dealers. Representatives of the most prominent
houses in the talking machine industry were present.
The headquarters are in the Bowery Savings Bank
Building, Park avenue and Forty-second street.
It is the belief of the members that the new asso-
ciation will put business on a more stable basis and
benefit the honest dealer as well as the manufacturer.
The association is not interested in prices, the impor-
tant object being to give positive and reliable infor-
mation to the manufacturers in reference to the deal-
ers. In cases where bankruptcy is inevitable the as-
sociation to have worthy men appointed as receivers,
referees and trustees.
