During the war, Mr. Edison spent most of his time on the sea coast or at sea. *On héne he Wisited . the' Edison Laboratories, it was di icult to gain -his attention, for more than a few n with reference to business matters. HeH did, however, state that the Edison Phonograph was his pet invention and he hoped that his business associates would be -able, ‘in’ some ~way or other, to avoid any increase in pric and that, if there must be an incrense, he " i wanted such increase to be just as small as it could possibly be made. «] am willing to stand the gaff. an important thing.

Therefore, s ‘if you buy an Edison Phonograph at this time, yol are virtually buying a before-the- war value, with an’ aftar-the-war dollar. Why was it that Edison did, nat increase his prices and how. did he avoid the necessity of doing so?
