MAKES PORTABLE PHONOGRAPHS
After twenty years of camera manufacture, the
S. C. Conley Camera Company of Rochester, Minn ,
has discontinued making the picture-taking apparatus
and the facilities are now devoted exclusively to the
manufacture of portable phonographs of which 75,000
were made last year. The plant, which once strug-
gled to remai nin existence, is the principle factory
of the city. Manufacture of the cameras was dis-
continued the first year because the demand for the
cameras made there was no longer sufficient to hold
costs to a minimum. Twenty-eight thousand cameras
of all types were made in the plant last year, and by
devoting all the facilities and equipment to portable
phonographs, it is expected to increase the output of
phonographs sufficiently to overcome the loss in
camera volume.

del, vice-president and general manager of the Ru-
dolph Wurlitzer Mfg. Co., North Tonawanda, N. Y.,

Grand Piano Co.'s factories at DeKalb, 111., which

Farny, vice-president and general manager. Mr.
Wurlitzer expressed himself as being especially op-
timistic as to the future of the grand piano.
