Edison Was Right Again

The prices of Edison Photographs
have increased less than Is per cent
since 1914, and a substantial part of
this increase is the 5 per cent tax, which
the Edison Laboratories pay to the
Government.
The Edison Photograph of today is
better monograph and better value
than the Edison Photograph of 1914.
On the other hand, the dollar of today is
worth, in purchasing power, only little
more than half rs much as the dollar of
1914. Therefore, if you buy an Edison
monograph at this time, you are virtu-
ally buying before-the-war value, with
an after-the-war dollar.
Why was it that Edison did not in
crease his prices and how did he avoid
the necessity of doing so ? Any COM
mercial agency and practically any in
vestment banker can ascertain for you
that the Edison Photograph Laborator-
les were doing business, in 1914, on
narrower margin of profit than was
true of any of the other established
monograph or talking machine, manu-
facturers. How, then, did Edison man.
age to avoid an increase in his selling
prices?
The story is dramatically interesting.
The following is only the essence of it:
When the United States of America
entered the Great War, Mr. Edison drop
ped all his work at the Edison Laborat-
cries and enlisted in the army of Ameri-
can men of science, who pitted them
selves so successfully against the world
famed German scientists. Cardinal Mer-
cier, on his recent visit TO America,
credited Mr. Edison with large share
in winning the war for the Allies. The
New York American of September 9Th
describes, at length. some of the inven-
tions, 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 Con-
sulting Board of 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 Laboratories, due to
their inability to obtain various materl-
ais, and the necessity of finding salts
factory substitutes for such materials.
If there was ever time in Mr.. Edison's
career, when his personal attention to
his business was required, it was when
he went to war. Thomas A. Edison
had reason to believe that he was risk
ing enormous losses, by deserving his
business, at the particular time in ques-
ton. but he did not hesitate, and his ex-
ample had a remarkable influence on the

 UNL00SED IN MURDERCASE

MONTESANO, Wash, March 5 (by Associated Press) Interest in the trial of the Centralia murder case was enIivened today when letter written by E. E. Edmonds, a Presbyterian min ister without charge, recently en- pIoyed by the defense as an investi- gator, was read into the record.
 The letter virtually admitted that the writer had found no evidence con- meeting Grimm, one of the victims of !. the shooting, with the raid on the *'wobbly' hadd
 The prosecution secured possession of the letter several weeks ago, and Assistant Prosecutor Abel read it in court after, Edmonds took the stand. Edmonds admitted that he wrote the letter to Attorney Vanderveer.
 The presentation of the letter came as surprise, and the incident was the most dramatic one of the trial.
 Tn his letter Edmonds suggested to Vanderveer that he build the defense on the famous John Brown case. He said the Western law of reaching for a gun should apply.
 Abel asked the witness if he meant that Grimm was reaching for a gun when he was killed. Edmonds replied that he was trying to convey what a former service man told him.
 It is expected that the defense may close the introduction of testimony to- night.
