Government Uses Victor Sound
Recording Experts

The Victor Talking Machine plant has been
built on an ideal and the heads of the company
have always looked forward to one thing, and that
is perfection. They have been satisfied with moth
ing less than that. Nothing takes the place of Gre
ating a better talking machine. Scientists and eK-
perts in sound recording are constantly at work
in a room closed to all but Mr.. Johnson and Mr..
Haddon. There they labor daily and experiment,
so that nothing in the field of sound recording will
ever excel what is controlled by the Victor Talk
ing Machine Company, When the Government
found out that We had such men 1t asked for those
men for use in locating submarines and airships.
They took our experts and sent them to New Lon
don and there they labored, and one OF our own
scientists invented the device which was one OF
the principal factors in locating and destroying
submarines.
Following the armistice, we got rid of war
contracts as rapidly as we could, and today we are
in a position very similar to what we were in
March, 1917, at the height of our production. The
war hit us before 1t did the rest Of the country.
We had built a tremendous cabinet factory 1T
gave us a floor space which, If put out in a build
ing 100 feet wide, Of the old saw-tooth roof style,
would be four and a half miles long. That is the
size of the present plant. After we had built this
wonderful new plant we had only to equip 1t, but
we could not do 1t because we could not buy the
equipment. We found that the allied governments
had contracted away ahead OF us so that we could
not buy motors, we could not buy machines, we
could not buy steel and we were never able to put
into operation the tremendous plant which we had
built. That plant today is going into operation.

Maximum Capacity of Victor Plant
Greater Than Ever

The maximum production OF the Victor plant
is a great deal bigger today than ever before. We
have as many record presses in operation now as
were in operation in March, 1917. However, the
character Of labor is different, for, in a majority
of cases, it is inexperienced. 1t is not hard to
learn a record pressing job, SO these workers will
soon be experienced and we will soon be able to
put out records as in the past. AS to machines,
by May, and at all events not later than June, we
will be able to supply the market with as many
machines and records as we ever did in the past.
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-04-01

By July we win have reached the maximum pro-
duction.
The war has developed a demand on the part
of the public that nothing else outside of a world
war could have developed, 1t is not really tho
high wages that did IT. This country faced a prob
lem that nothing else outside OF a world war
could have solved. We had devoted all Of our en-
ergies to a materialistic idea. We had been train
ing our boys and girls along vocational lines, We
were running astray. We were running away from
democracy. Democracy springs from the heart Of
man and not from the mind of man, and the war
brought us face to face with democracy and we
have been s~eething with It. The only thing which
can preserve the needs of this spirituality is music.
The first cultural thing is music, and the talking
machine can supply this cultural need quicker
and more satisfactorily than anything devised by
man. 60
That means that the demand which has been
created is going to go on and on and on. We are
not going back to the old standards Of the i'm
perialist. We will cultivate democracy and we
are going to become more cultural. l predict a
prosperity for the Victor dealer undreamed of in
any of his best-laid schemes of the past.
The Spirit of Service Is the Big Thing
at Present
Il was asked by a dealer, VIII the Victor
Company feel badly if | take on another line?
do not think the Victor Company will-why should
they? | am sure that they won't, but the vital
question is, Will the public be prejudiced against
a dealer who is known as a Victor dealer, then
offers something else? That is the big thing. The
spirit of service is the new method going into eff
feet. Give service in the way OF cultivating your
customers"
Mr.. Paine, in illustrating the service idea, told
of a baking powder concern who reversed its meth
DDS. At first everything possible was done to load
up the jobber, the jobber in turn loaded up the
dealer and forgot 1t; the dealer loaded up the
housewife and forgot it. Now that company is more
than careful of the distribution of its baking pow
der by the spoonful than it is Of either the de-
mand by the jobber or the dealer. The result is,
the housewife wants it, the dealer wants 1t, the
tobber wants it, and the demand is steady and
permanent.
"The Victor Company" said Mr.. Paine. SIS not
going to stop for one instant in creating a demand
for Victrolas and for Victor goods. They are go
ing out with their tremendous advertising posi-
bilities to create a demand on the part of the pub
lie for Victor goods, and they are going to supply
the demand which they are creating. They are 60
ing to put the Victor in such a condition that they
will be able to supply that demand. You, on your
part, will have to meet the public demand in a
broader, bigger and better spirit OF service than
you have ever done before, and a success is yours
which you have never dreamed Of"
