"TRADE OPINIONS ON THE MONTHLY.

Albert Palmer, Garrett, Ind.: —

It is with pleasure I can say that I am very much taken up with the Edison Phonograph Monthly, and it will be an ever looked for and welcome visitor at my place of business. I am putting all my time in selling Edison goods, for I think there is no other like them. I am doing all I can to advertise them. I will tell you about how many Edison Records I have sold in a city of about 4,500 people. I have sold in the past year over 3,000 Records. How is that for doing business?" [Edison Phonograph Monthly; April 1903; Volume 1, Number 2, Page 10]

T.W. Betker:

"THE TRIUMPH A TRIUMPH INDEED.

T. W. Betker, a Dealer at Rushville, Ind., in a letter to his Jobber, Kipp Bros. Co., Indianapolis, Ind., said:

The Triumph Phonograph is certainly well deserving of its name, for it is certainly a triumph in the reproduction of music. The maker should certainly triumph over his achievements, and the possessor cannot help the triumphal feeling, which the Triumph Phonograph is bound to inspire in him when it plays. Long may the Edison lead." [Edison Phonograph Monthly; May 1903; Volume 1, Number 3, Page 7]

Musical Supply Co.:

"TRADE OPINIONS ON THE MONTHLY.

The Musical Supply Co., South Bend., Ind.: — 

The first copy of the Phonograph Monthly is certainly a welcome visitor. We have felt the necessity of something of its nature for some time. The advance list of records is certainly desirable, and I don't see how a Dealer could get along without it. It is needless to say that although we handle all makes, the Edison Machine and Record sales lead five to one. We keep all the machines and over five hundred Edison Records in stock, and are fast securing the entire trade of northern Indiana."
