DAILY .CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1010. VAGJ3 TULR&H STATEMENT BY MR. DYER , Mnttontion has been called to a recoaAlclo in a New York dally aowspapeV, which has been widely copied and whorein It Is stated that thgrfuturo of tho phonograph was aqt. bright. Tho article Js en tirely misleading, and does not ac cqrd"(n'any way with the views of mjHjILqr any one connected with tho Edison. companies. The future of the phonograph was never so bright as at the present time; In fact I Tool that tho surface has hardly been scratched Orders aro coming In so rapidly at tho present time that we aro not able to fill them properly, and tho sales aro entirely satisfactory. Tho fact that we aro just starting In with tile Amberola and a full lino of grand opera records Is certainly an Indica tion ,lint, so far as we are concerned, tho future does not have to be ques tioned. If any one of us had the slightest doubt as to the future of tho business, why should we be spend ing hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in advertising and a corre sponding amount in tho development of new lines and in experimental work. In connection with the very article under consideration, it is interesting to inquire why, if Mr. Edison has any doubt as to the future of the business, he should bo willing to spend '$165, 000 in cash to acquire a minority stock interest? The whole transaction was simply this, that in tho early days of tho phonograph business this particular minority block of stock of the Edison Phono graph Works was acquired by out side interests, and was later put up as collateral to secure the Issue of bonds for another Independent com pany (not controlled by Mr. Edison; having rights in certain foreign coun tries, and on which the Interest pay ments wero defaulted. These bond holders were anxious to realize some thing from their Investment, and Mr. Edison was willing to buy the stock, so that tho transaction was con summated. Tho Edison Phonograph Works, as persons familiar with the business know, is a separate company located at Orange, and engaged only in the manufacture- of machines, which' are turned over to and distributed by the National Phonograph Company. The National Company manufactures all Edison records and sella directly to tho trade. The National Company, in assots, property and amount of business done, is immeasurably larg er than Edison Phonograph Works. The purchase of this block of stock by Mr. Edison was a personal mat ter ,ond has no direct bearing on the futnro of tho phonograph business, j other than showing his confidence and a desire to withdraw tho stock from litigation.

We'vo recently received the greatest single shipment of pianos ever brought to Salem. It was tho largest order yet placed by us and the factories from whom we , purchased agreed, on account of the size of the order, to make us a particularly low price on these instruments. This saving we're going to pass on to "our patrons. We're constantly on the lookout for bargains and we saw in this an opportunity to secure these pianos and in turn sell them to retail buyers at practically wholesale cost. In fact, many small dealers oannot purchase pianos at wholesale at as low prices as wo are offering you right on our own floor quality, considered. We're going to secure dozens of loyal friends during this sale and at tho same time we are going to. try to gather some valuable statistics. A modern niano business must: ho wnii -wivm-Hi MM 4 1 W tlU V A Not only must it offer tho best in musical instrument manufacture upon most advantageous terms of purchase, but it must mako itself known. A piano, a good piano of Wenger & Cherrlngton, lasts a lifetime. New buyers must bo found, and particularly in this growing west in -it necessary for a business such as"high-class piano -Ing to keep Itself constantly before tho public. In disposing of this large stack we see an oppor,- tunity to find out definitely as- to which method of ad-' 1 vertisilng is most effective, such as the use of newspaper space, circulars, personal letters or weekly or periodical" publications. For this reason we publish an advertising test cer tificate. It calls for $30.00, It is good for so much actual cash. It will be accepted by us as the first pay mont for any piano in. this salo.
