TIT mm Edison Was Right Again The prices of Edison Phonographs have increased less than 15 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 Phonograph of today is a better phonograph and a better value than the Edison Phonograph of 1914. On the other hand, the dollar of today is worth, in purchasing power, only a litt'e more than half as much as the dollar of 1914. Therefore, if you buy an Edison Phonograph at this time, you are virtu- ally buying a before-the-war value, with an after-the-war dollar. Why was it that Edison crease his prices and how did he avoid the necessity of doing so 2? Any com- mercial agency and practically any in- vestment banker can ascertain for you that the Edison Phonograph Laborator- ies were doing did not in- business, in 1914, ona narrower margin of profit than was true of any of the other established phonograph, 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- ories 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 a large share in winning the war for the Allies. The New York American of September 5th 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 materi- als, and the necessity of finding satis- factory substitutes for such materials. If there was ever a time in Mr. Edison’s eareer, when his personal attention to his businegs was required, it was when he went to war. Thomas A. Edison had reason to believe that he was risk- ing enormous losses, by deserting his business, at the particular time in ques- tion, but he did not hesitate, and his ex- ample had a remarkable influence on the men and women, who remained behind. From the humblest workmen to the highest paid executive in the Edison or- ganization, everyone seemed determined “to make good, while the Old Man was away.” Vacations were passed up and doctors’ orders were ignored by zealous 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 efficiency, during the war, and where there was, in fact, an increase in effici- ency. During the war, Mr. Edison spent most of his time on the sea coast or at s On those rare occasions, when he ed the Edison Laboratories, it was difficult to gain his attention, for more than a few minutes, with reference to business matters. He 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 price, and that, if there must be an in- crease, he wanted such increase to be just as small as it could possibly be made. Mr. Edison said: “I am willing to stand the gaff. Music is an important thing. Let us make it as easy as pos- sible for people to have music in their homes in these nerve-racking days.” What was the result ? The wonder- ful realism of the New Edison, “The Phonograph with a Soul,” made it desir- ed above all other phonographs, and its sale was stimulated by the fact that the increase in price was negligible. The demand soon far outstripped the supply. Overhead and sales expense were reduc- ed to the minimum and, thanks to Mr. Edison’s willingness to absorb a large share of the increased cost of manufact- une, it was possible for the Edison Lab- oratories, by accepting a merely nomin- al profit, to avoid any substantial in- crease in the selling price of the Edison Phonograph. It will be many years before the gen- eral level of commodity prices is as low as the present price of the Edison Phon- ograph. Leading bankers have express- ed themselves as willing to lend money on Edison Phonographs, because they know the selling prices of Edison Phono- graphs are not going to be reduced. Let us reiterate that when you buy an Edison Phonograph today you buy a be- fore-the-war value with an after the war dollar. If you have any fear that there may be a reduction in the prices of Edi- son Phonographs, we are prepared to give you full assurance on that point. S. R.

The Bolsheviki are reported to be masters of the whole Crimean penin- sula. General Wrangel, members of his | staff and M.

A mob in Sebastopol has pillaged the American Red Cross stocks.

Several thousand more are due here, aud it is understoed 30,000 have been permitted to take passage from the | Crimean city.

JAPAN, U. S. AGREE ON LABOR EXCLUSION Tokio.—Newspapers here report that the Japanese and American govern ments have reached an agreement in | principle relative to the exclusion of Japanese laborers from the United States. It is asserted, however, that there is a disagreement regarding the methods to be employed. America is | understood to desire provisions for ex- | clusion embodied in a treaty, but Jap- an, it is said, regards this procedure as humiliating and as forming a pre- cedent she might be forced to follow in future treaties. Japan is said to de- | clare that measures prohibiting her subjects from emigrating can be taken | only on her own initiative. In other respects the negotiations | are progressing, it is reported, and, | once this point has been settled, an | agreement may be expected. HUNGARY RATIFIES TREATY.
