Edison Was Right Again

women who remained behind. From the num-
blest workman to the highest paid executive in
the Edison organizations everyone seemed deter
mined to make good, while the Old Man was
away. - Vacations were passed up and doctors
orders were ignored by Jealous employees, and, as
a result the Edison Manufacturing Laboratories
were one of the few manufacturing concerns In
the United States, where there was no loss OF et-
fciency, during the war, and where there was,
in fact, increase in efficiency
During the war, Mr.. Edison spent most of
his time ON the sea coast or at sea On tnIse rare
occasions, when he visited the Edison Labora-
tories it was difficult to gain his attention,
for more than few minutes, with reference TO
business matters. He did, however, state that the
Edison Photograph his pet invention and ne
hoDed that his business associates would be able,
in some way or other, to avoid any increase IN
price and that, if there must be an increase, ne
wanted such an increase to be Just as small as
e could possiblv be made Mr. Edison said 81
am willing to stand the gaff Music is an import
ant thing. Let us make it as easv as possible tor
people to have music in their homes IN these
nerve-racking days
What was the resultl The wonderful realism OF
+ba Now Edison ssThe Photograph with a SOUL
made it desired above all other monographs, and
it's sale was stimulated by the fact that the IN
crease in price was negligible The demand soon
far outstripped the supply Overhead ana SAFES
exnense were reduced to the minimum and, thanks
TO Mr. EdisOn's willingness to absorb large
share of the increased cost Of MANUFACTURE ~
was possible for the Edison Laboratories Dy

the selling prices Of Edison fhohosi"P''' ''is
going to be reduced.
Let us reiterate that when you buy an holson

fear that there may be reduction IN the prices

TT HE prices of Edison Photographs have in
creased less than Is percent since 1914, and
a substantial part of this increase is the
percent tax, which the Edison Laboratories pay to
the Government
The Edison Photograph of today is better
phonograph and better value than the Edison
Photograph of 1914. On the other hand, the
dollar of today is worth. in purchasing power,
only a little than half much the
dollar of 1914. Therefore, if you buy an Edison
Photograph at this time, you are virtually buying
before the-war value, with an after the war
dollar.
Why was it that Edison did not increase his
prices and how did he avoid the necessity of doing
so? Any commercial agency and practically any
investment banker ascertain for you that the
Edison Photograph Laboratories were doing busl-
ness in 1914, on a narrower margin of profit than
was true of any of the other established phono-
graph, talking machine, manufacturers. How,
then, did Edison manage to avoid an increase IN
his selling pricesg
The story is dramatically interesting. The fol
lowing is only the essence of it:
When the United States of America entered the
Great War Mr.. Edison dropped all his work at
the Edison Laboratories and enlisted in the army
of American Of science, who pitted them
selves so successfully against the World-taned
German scientists. Cardinal MERCER, on his re-
cent visit to America, credited Mr.. Edison with
a large share in winning the war for the Allies
The New York American of September 9th de
scribes at length some of the inventions which
Mr. Edison developed and placed at the disposal of
the Government. In this article, the New York
American states that Mr.. Edison appears to have
been the moving spirit of the Naval Consulting
Board CT the United States.
When Mr.. Edison gave up his own business
for the business of the Nation a very critical
situation existed in his Manufacturing Labora-
tories, due to their inability to obtain various
materials and the necessity of finding satisfactory
substitutes for such materials. If there was ever
a time in Mr.. Edison career. when his personal
attention to his business required, it was
whom no won't 10 war Thomas A. Edison had
son to believe that he was riskng enormous loss
es by deserving his business, at the particular
time in question but he did not hesitate, and his
example had remarkable influence on the men and
