Bibliographic Citation
"The Phonograph Deal", Chicago Inter-Ocean, January 19th, 1889
Editor's Notes
It was learned today that TAE lost $250,000 in the phonograph deal. He had given Gilliland powers of attorney and was told to consult Tomlinson. Gilliland announced that the patent had been sold to the North American Phonograph company for $500,000, but TAE found it it was actually $750,000. The two have denied any wrongdoing.
