Mr Post and Mis Nellie Post re-
While many objects once looked
on as luxuries are now regarded as
absolute necessities, the phonograph
can scarcely be considered as having
reached that stage. It must still be
classed as a luxury, and, with that
fact in mind, a return of prosperity is
presaged by the fact that at the Edi
son factories at Orange, N. J., ten
thousand phonographs are being made
every week and one hundred and
fifty thousand records are being turn
ed out every day in the week.
Grasp Just a few more figures and
then sit comfortably back with the
gratifying realization that the country,
after all, is not going to the dogs, and
that there is a little loose change in
the pockets of the average American
citizen. In the various buildings of
the Edison works there is a floor
space of fourteen acres, while the en
tire plant occupies eighteen acren.
The engine, playing no unimportant !
part in the life of one of America s
tnoBt famous manufactories, has
grown from fifty to fifteen hundred
horsepower. In all the departments
when it is considered that more than
ten thousand of them are used every
week In the making of phonographic
records it will be realized that the
bill for this item alone is not an in
significant one. The saphires must be
of absolute smoothness, having a
higher polish than, for example, a
three hundred dollar diamond. It is
here, too, that Edison has outdistanc
ed his Imitators, all of whom require
a different needle for every Individual
record.
The huge plant at Orange, the mag
nitude of which is the amazement of
as great as that of all the other artl
