dfflS! The Six Best Cellars
!
The -prices of Edison Phonographs have in
creased less than 15 per cent since 1914, and
a substantial part of this increase is the 5 per
cent tax, which the Edison Laboratories pay
to the Government.
The Edition Phonograph of today is a better
phonograph and a better value than the Edi
son Phonograph of 1014. On the other hand,
the dollar, of today is worth, in purchasing
power, only a little more than half as much as
the dollar of 1914. Therefore, if you buy an
Edison Phonograph at this time, you are vir
tually buying a before-the-war value, with an
after-the-war dollar.
Why was it that Edison did not increase his
prices and how did he avoid the necessity of
doing so 7 Any commercial agency and prac
tically any investment banker can ascertain
for you that the Edison 'Phonograph Labora
tories were doing business, in 1914, on a nar
rower margin of profit than was true of any
of the other established phonograph, or talk
ing Tiachine, manufacturers. How, then, did
Edison manage to avoid an increase in his
selling prices?
The story is dramatically, interesting. Tho
following is only the essence of it:
When the United States of America entered
the Great War, Mr. Edison dropped all his
work at the Edison Laboratories and enlisted
in the army of American men of 'science, who
pitted themselves so'' "successfully agalnBt the
worid-famed German' scientists. Cardinal Mer
cier, on his recejtt visit to America, credited
" Mr. Edison with a large share In winning ,tho
war for the Allies. The New York American
v of September Bth describes, at length, some of
the inventions, which Mr. Edison developed
and placed at the disposal of the Government
In this article, the New York American states
that Mr. Edison appears to have been the
moving spirit of the Naval Consulting Board
of the United States.
When Mr. Edison gave up his own business
for the business of the Nation, a very critical
situation existed In his' Manufacturing Labor
atories, due to' their inability to obtain various
materials, and the necessity of finding satis
factory substitutes for such materials. If
there, was ever a tinie In Mr. Edison's career,
when his personal attention to his business waa
required, it was when he Went to war. Thomas
t A. Edison had.. reason to bfilieve that ho was
risking enormous losses, by deserting his busl
.ncss, at the particular time-1 in question, hut
he did not hesitate, and ills example had a re-
the
markable influence on
men and women,
who remained behind. From the humblest
workman (o the highest paid executive in tho
Edison organization, everyone seemed deter
mined "to Imake good, while the Old Man was
away." Vacations were passed up a,nd doc
tor' orders were ignored by zealous em
ployees, and, as a result, the Edison Manufac
turing Laboratories were one of the few man
ufacturing concerns in the United States,
where there was no loss of efficiency, during
the war, and where there was, in fact, an in
crease in eiriciency.
During th war, Mr. Edison spent most of
his time on the sea coast or at sea. On thoso
rare occasions, when he visited the Edison
Laboratories, it was difficult to gain his at
tention, for more than a few minutes, with
reference to business matters. He did, how
ever, state that the Edison Phonograph was
his pet invention and he hoped that his busi
ness associates would be able, in .same way or
other, to avoid any increase, in price, and that,
if there must bo an increase, he wanted such
increase to be just as small as Jtcould
possibly be made. Mr. Edison said: "I am
willing to stand tho gaff. Music is an im
portant thing. Let us make it as easy as pos
sible for people to have music In their homes

With a SoUlr made it desired above all other
phonographs, and its sale was stimulated by
the fact tlM the increase In price was negli
gible. The demand soon far out-stripped tho
supply. Ovqrhead and sales expense were re
duced to tie minimum and, thanks to Mr.
Edison's w llingness to absorb 'a large share
of the increased cost of manufacture, it was
possible f o the Edison Laboratories, by ac
cepting a'jicrely nominal profit, to avoid any
substantial increase In the selling price of the
Edison Phonograph. -.
It will Jwj many years before the general
level of commodity prices is as low as the
present' pride of tho Edison Phonograph. Lead
