A. O. Tate, Esq.,
Edison Building,
Broad St.,
New York City.
Dear Sir:-
In regard to the packing of musical records, we have now obtained a supply of the wooden cylindrical boxes, cotton batting etc., and our method of packing will be changed gradually. We have still on hand nearly a thousand of the paste-board boxes and we will use up these before changing over completely to the new method.
The following is an extract from a letter under date Nov. 25th of the Montana Phonograph Co., referring to the new method of packing:
“We think this a much better way to pack them, as it saves a great deal in weight, as well as doing away with the liability of having them (cylinders) broken and scratched.”
Yours truly,
Thomas Maguire
