Title
[D8962AAN], Letter from Thomas R Lombard to New Jersey Phonograph Co, August 1st, 1889
Editor's Notes
"We would suggest for your consideration the advisability of making an effort to introduce into all the business schools and colleges, the Phonograph and Phonograph-Graphophone for the purpose of giving instruction to the students. ### Some of our Sub-Companies have already taken steps in that direction, and are meeting great success, and in one city in the West the machine has been introduced in the college where heretofore shorthand was taught. The Principal of the college stating that it was unnecessary to teach shorthand any longer with these machines coming into competition. ### We do not think there could be any step taken that would be more important to the introduction of the machines, then to have the typewriters educated to use it, as business men would be more apt to rent machines, if they found that expert typewriters were familiar with its use."
