North American Phonograph Company, 
44 Broad St., New York City 
Gentlemen:- 
The following data from a report presented at our annual meeting yesterday may be of interest. 
Amount paid North American Phonograph Company 
Year ending Sept. 39th, 1890, rental                             $3,867.42 
Supplies                          4.191.41 
Total                            $8,058.83 
Year ending Sept. 30th, 1891, rental                            $6, 037.63 
Supplies                           4,513.27

Total                                       $15, 732.38 
The same report also shows that the increase in our gross business during the last year over the proceeding year was between twelve and thirteen thousand dollars. This we think a good growth.
