The talking machine industry is
one of the largest in America, and
probably no product has so wide
distribution. Easily the leader. the
Victrola reigns supreme in all lands.
Prices are fixed on instruments and
records, and it is rare thing that a
customer even suggests reduction,
so we'll known Is this fact. We have
never sold an item of Victor goods
at cut price, and nobody has
ever had an offer of this kind from
US. Prices on other machines vary
according to the Individual customer,
