"KIND WORDS ABOUT THE MONTHLY.

Theo. F. Bentel Co., Pittsburg, Pa.:

The Edison Phonograph Monthly, published exclusively for the benefit of the trade, came to us in due time, and we are very glad to receive it, as it contains some very valuable information, and the idea strikes us as an exceptionally good one, and removes any possibility of over-sight on the part of regular Jobbers in supplying Suspended Dealers. There are a number of other points that strike us as good ones, but this fact alone is worth the cost of the issue. Again congratulating you on the issue and hoping it will continue, we remain."
