"SAT UP ALL NIGHT TO LISTEN TO THE PHONOGRAPH.

A Michigan dealer sends the following interesting experience with reference to the sale of an Edison Phonograph:

Gentlemen: — I asked for and obtained the agency for selling the Edison Phonographs and Records from the Chicago House in March. My first order from the House was for three machines and 152 Records.

When the Phonographs arrived I started up the Triumph for one of my customers at 7:30 P. M. and it was run all night until 5:30 the next morning. One of the listeners was a lady who had given music lessons on the piano and organ for twenty-five years, and another was a gentleman who had led Orchestras and Brass Bands for over twenty years. Other listeners belonged to orchestras and bands and others were great lovers of fine music. So you see how the Edison Phonograph is appreciated here.

Very truly yours,

Orion J. Fay, M. D.
