- Editor's Notes
- Thanks for the excellent specimens of your wonderful new phonograph as well as the rich collection of musical and other rolls and furniture.###Your gift has become one of the most attractive and interesting objects of the establishment and many thousands of visitors are astonished by it.###When our society was formed we wrote the name of Edison on our shield as an inspiring element.###Our statutes say we are to spread scientific knowledge to lay people, especially because so many great men of inventive genius--Herrsshel, Wessel, Faraday, TAE--come from that quarter (are not university-trained)###Advise us on how your phonographs are sold.###We have inquiries on this subject everyday from all parts of Germany. We effect the sale of all instruments exhibited in our establishment.
